>You're correct, the tables are in the order listed in the tree. However, is isn't necessary to use a TTX file with ADO. The article I posted last night on my web site shows how to use ADO without a TTX file.

Arrgggh! I wish I would have seen it MONTHS ago! (That'll teach me to read my conference notes!). I've spent most of the summer working with TTX files. However, I was working as part of a team, and I was simply taking the recordsets the other developers created, so it was probably to write out a TTX (and rewrite it when it changed) than to attempt to recreate the structures in Crystal. Then again, since there's no data in TTX files, I wasn't able to preview, and who knows how much time I spent running and rerunning the app to test it--it might have been faster to try to recreate their recordsets!

Great articles!
