Çetin, I am somewhat amazed over this, being 100% new to ODBC. I checked out your faq#8039, made a small prg and lo and behold - it all worked beautifully. Access DDB tables flying into Fox files. So thanks. As for the reversion - i.e. going Fox to Access, it's not at all clear to a OCBC newcomer like me yet what to edit in your prg but I'll get the magnifying glass out. THANKS Denis
