But lookup fields are the only issue in this regard. It's a wash. Remember the user, remember the environment. I believe the Access development team wants Access to be more user friendly to the average user and this is just one of the many features that make that happen. The lone user doesn't even split a database unless there's a functional reason for doing so. I use several in my own work, none of them are split -- no need for it. Because a lookup field may not be a good choice in one environment doesn't condemn it for all. Other than that, I have no opinion. ;) Susan H. 2. I agree, this can be an issue. 2) when you want to add additonal columns so that the sub table can have it's own set of attributes because the system has "grown" you'll need to revisit the table to make the changes for the FE, but if you're using some sort of BE/FE setup then you can't do anything until all the users are out :) -- -Francisco -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
