Gustav, Gustav, Gustav....you need to invest in VB 6. You could probably get it dirt cheap on eBay, and with your skills, you'll pick it up in a heart beat. A lot of people peg me as a VBer, simply because I use VB a lot. However, I'm all for the right tool for the right job. VB is just another tool. Now, if I could somehow merge the advantages of VB, with the advantages in Access, I would be a VERY happy camper!

I have some very general and well proven functions which I simply keep collected in some modules which I copy-paste into a new project as needed - not very fancy, I know, but it works. /gustav > I'm in the same situation as you.
