Thanks Allen
I'll be sticking with Access 97
just one last thing though...
if I needed to start using SQL Server to store Tables of an Access 97 front
end, would this force the need to upgrade.
if not, are there many major benefits of using A2000 appose to A97 in
conjunction with SQL Server 2000
I'll let you go now :)
Your comments have proved invaluable in helping me make the right decision
Many Thanks
Jado
