Cetin,

I'll run you through what my program does on start.

- loads the form
- once the form is loaded, it transfers a snapshot of table onto the users HD to have local access to create reports for specific depts, groups and projects
-when the program is closed, the snapshot is deleted from the HD

I'm trying to figure out a way to transfer the data, after the form has loaded
(nothing to do with my cboxes).

I tried it in the init method but it still seems to be too early in the startup process
