>An offline view is a set of data taken from a table in a database that can be resynchronized later. Are you familiar with the concept of views?

John,

I've very familiar with views, and from what little I know about offline views, they may be useful in my case. I've got data from about 70 state agencies in about 30 tables and at least that many local views (for my forms and reports). I need to separate each agencies info from these 30 tables, combine their data with the user interface to allow them to update their info, then return their updated info to me. Once I get all 70 agencies data back, I've got to put it all back together to create a master 'directory' of information.

Sound like something I could use offline views for?
