Jack,

Thanks for all of your help.

Here is a scenario.  I run the code for folder  "C:\Temp\"...it runs fine...all expected records in both tables.  I then delete all records in both tables and run it again...this time it gets stuck in a loop as described below.

If I close/reopen the mdb...it will run fine.  I have stepped through...and the second time running...these lines
step through....but the OtherDB and rz = 'Nothing' and the rz.EOF shows "Object variable or With block variable not set"...it does not give an error.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Mark
