Thank you for going to all this trouble -- please understand I am not a
software programmer, nor do I understand most of what you wrote. I do
understand the setting to low security under Tools, but this is not available
after my installation and reinstallation. I have been using Access since it
was first written and have never had trouble like this upgrading from one
version to another - never. This is just too frustrating for words. If you
can think of anything else I can do, please write back. Thank you. Kathie
