Well, that workaround you gave me is definitely going to give me something to gnaw on for days :) Thanks again for your extreme with me yesterday.

>If my users are serious about data integrity and want a full blown app, I won't allow the data to reside in Access. I put it in Oracle or VFP. IMHO, Access data is for personal DBs or very small groups of people sharing an MDB with nothing but Access as the front-end.

I think they will eventually go to Oracle. There's rumblings about it now. Teh reason (at least from my end) that it's in Access now is that's what the client wanted and what my boss asked me to do. :) But if it goes to Oracle, that could be really cool for me.
