Cetin,

I'll definately keep that in mind (another tip to store in longterm memory). I have a 2 part question for you. (1) If I do an SQL select statement, can I direct the data to a specific folder (e.g. from server to C\myFolder\Data). (2) I would like to run this procedure just after the load and init events occur, so the main form is ready to go on the screen once the wait window clears telling me that the data has been transferred.

Thank you
Perry
