Hi Renee

>what does it mean when the error says 'data type mismatch, umbinding object objName'? the help file says i may have specified 2 fields in an operation bet. tables that do not match....is there a way to locate the line where the error actually occurs?

This one probably means that you have a control bound to a column in a table where the data type cannot be used - usually this is a combo box (or a list box). Check the ControlSource for all your combos and lists to ensure they are correct.
