In the help, way down deep, MS mentioned Connection.connect.

I had been loading the control manually the reading the MSRDC.connect property.
It of course showed ''

But look what the Connection.connect property showed in the immediate window.
? ME.MSRDC1.Connection.Connect
DSN=MS Access;DBQ=D:\Data\Accounting.mdb;DefaultDir=D:\Data;DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;UID=admin;

So as MS logic goes<g>, I set the above string as my MSRDC.connect=
and it finally worked.

Thanks again
