Totally off topic but I have developed a typing impediment (courtesy of VFP), I can't seem to be able to type from (I type form) on the first try ... and thus ends this little piece of totally useless information :)

>Try and paste the same instruction (recordset.source) into the query analizer, it's easier to trap the error that way, you can copy it from the debugger. I do something like x = object.recordset.source, and I have created a form to display the value of x in an editbox (It's easier to copy form there), anyway HTH.
