Thanks, worked like a charm. That's something I should have thought of. I just wanted to say thanks for all your help throughout this project. You have replied to a couple of my threads and your input was very helpful. I also wanted to tell you, you made this suggestion for creating the tables:

oAcc=create("access.application")
oAcc.DoCmd.CopyObject("C:\test\mydatabase.mdb","3-2001-info",0,"general_info")

This worked except I needed to open the database first with:

oAcc.opencurrentdatabase("C:\test\mydatabase.mdb")

Thanks again,
Steve
