While it works fine for the former, the bug is that in the latter case it uses the wrong name for the view it creates. I changed the code in this routine as follows (at about line 173):
>
>if tcDBC lcDBC

Shouldn't the last conditional block be: if tcDBC<>lcDBC ? Also a very minor clarification: the copyTable method is part of the form fmrSDT not in the SDT.VCX.
If I make these changes (I did and it works fine), will I need to remove them to apply any future posted updates to 5E from your update page at www.stonefield.com?
Thanks for the quick response.
