Guys, I know the conventional wisdom as well as you do, but the fact is, both front and back ends are on the network, even if he runs the front end from his personal drive. We do this all the time. I wasn't given a choice of playing field, and they have a wealth of other Access apps running in this environment, all lovingly tended by other developers. It probably will turn out to be a network issue, which is somebody else's baby, but I still have to find ways to make it work. My boss reacted with horror to the idea of copying front ends to personal drives, but that's what I have them doing for now until the network situation is explained/resolved. Ultimately the back end will be SQL Server, but I'm still tinkering with tables, and getting admin rights to a SQL Server in this organization is probably not going to happen. Charlotte >> >> >>
