Hi Lynda.

>It appears that Form 2 is using the DBC in the \\data_directory rather than the one in the \\users\personal directory -- but they are truly identical since one is a copy-and-paste of the other. Form 2 wouldn't work until I copied the DBC to \\data_directory.

Not sure what's going on, but if there's a difference in behavior between the two forms, there must be a difference in code or database somewhere.
