We didn't have many of the needed references (tools/References from a code window), such as Multi-dimensional ActivX Data objects, the ADO 2.1 library, the ActiveXPlugin, the MS Jet & Replication Objects 2.5 library, VBA Extensibility 5.3, etc. Not sure which one actually allowed us to use the commands needed for the SQL population and the database & querydef commands, but it sure made life easier when we added them!

Again, thanks for your help,
