Hi Yuri,

thanks for the help.

Unfortunately I don't seem tobe able to get away from the Error: 1429: OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from Microsoft Word: String is longer than 255 characters.

I tried splitting the string up like this:

.OpenDataSource(m._QueriesText,0, ;
.F., .F., .T., .F., "", "", .F., "", "", ;
[Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;];
+ [Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=] + m._Dir_Net + [;];
+ [Mode=Read;Extended Properties="""";];
+ [Jet OLEDB:System database="""";];
+ [Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="""";];
+ [Jet OLEDB:Database Password="""";];
+ [Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=18],;
"SELECT * FROM '" + JUSTFNAME(m._QueriesText) + "'", "")

but still get the error. Have you got any suggestions?

Thanks again,
