Ah, many thanks Kevin, I didn't even think of that one and it makes perfect sense now.

I've been away from MM programming for a few months and my mind is getting less and less limber. But I'm being forced to getting back to now two MM applications, so you can expect more stupid questions.

By the way, I've written three tutorials on using SQLite on a Pocket PC in case anyone in interested. Sorry it doesn't use the MM framework, but it probably could.

SQLite is a small footprint database that uses SQL commands that is perfect for PPC work and is free. It syncs up perfectly in the \My Documents folder on the workstation, and my rather large .pdf tutorials have a lot of nice screen shots and all the VB code in them. scarpt@mmc.org
