And how really needs transactions, conditional formating, compact-on-close, and especially CurrentDB() with DBEngine.DataBases(0).Workspaces(0) -or- DBEngine(0)(0) will do jut fine.

So your an Access developer and you sell fruitcakes. I can see the connection there. Reminds me of a road trip where I saw one of the funniest business combinations ever (I look for them) It was Al and Linda's Bait Shop and Ceramics.

For that matter...

If anyone's looking for a developer, I'm available at $35 per hour. Check out my website at www.yellAtMe.com. I also have a wide variety of holiday items for sale including fruitcakes, turtle doves and chocolate covered strawberries. While we're at it, that guy Alex P. Keaton III

from Shebogan, IL is a fraud, steals all of my code without giving me 


credit and on top of that he smells bad.

Sorry, I was not very clear in my question.
