That KB refers to appending new records. In my case it was a readonly record that I wanted to do the ADO equivalemnte of replace. (recordset.record.value = something)

Thx.

BTW, let me know when you are in Dade with soime time, preferably later in the day. I just moved to a new place in Bay Harbor (basically N. Miami Beach) so I'm closer to you.
