<P>That is a good place to pick up the idiomatic stuff for Outlook. I went crazy trying to figure out how to save the stupid thing (form). It is a very different object model etc. from Access. The properties are named the same but they don't quite work the same. Just enough to make you THINK you know what's going on - also enough to make you make those blanket statements like "oh I can handle that - no problem"...errrrr (whoops ,sorry I deleted all your stuff...gotta go....no charge for today!)<BR>Thanks again,</P>
