Hi David,

Yes ... I do pretty extensive testing. It does seem the problem is limited to certain properties. I just have to revisit them all, that's by biggest beef. I "thought" that everything was working fine .... I just can't be sure now and have to retest to be sure.

(A craftsman is only as good as his tools, and when he looses confidence in his tools ...).

Like you, I should have stayed away from ACCESS/ASSIGN, but where I did use them, they had seemed ideal (at the time).

Gerry
