Hi Ed,

Well, I am afraid that I am probably going to show my true self, and let you know that I don't quite understand your instructions...

I currently have 4 forms in my application, plus some reports and some labels. Do I have to go into each one and make this change in the data environment? Or can I make one global change for the whole thing?

You also made mention that it would work if there were no free tables.... I do not understand what you mean... All of the tables reside within the the database container... Are you asking if any reside outside of the container?

ok, now, one last question (actually, it is more than one, but who is counting...<grin>)

Thisform.SetAll("Database",cDataPathName,"Cursor")

This was the instruction you gave me... is 'database' the name of the actual database container, or is it the name of the table? does it have to be in quotes?

what do you mean by 'cursor'?

if this is setup correctly, my line would look something like this:
Thisform.SetAll("Dewitt",w:\,???)

*** not sure about the cursor....

thank you in advance for your time and for helping this new person along....
