Robert, Visual Basic (VB) is fundamentally different to Access. So VB forms
are not the same as Access forms. A person could be the world's best expert
in Access forms, & have no clue about VB forms. You really need to get a VB
book, or ask your question in a VB forum.

And, your database is not an "Access" database! Access is just a "front end"
program to the actual database management program, MS Jet. VB can also act
as a front-end to MS Jet. Your database is a Jet database, not an Access
one. Access would not be involved in your application at all, methinks!

HTH,
TC
