Thanks Cetin,

Because the will be use all at once since they will be used for tracking information from various other systems. I don't know when that is so I was going to open them all at once.

By the way, do you have a preference as to which way to use and update SQL file? I elected to use ODBC remote view since it's less time and easier to code, rather than using pass-through.

Again, Thanks for your response on this.
