Thanks John - no - I checked that.....I have also now tried a couple of other things - I have tried to import all objects into a clean new mdb - it will not import the forms because of this refs prob, - I have run Jetcomp and created a new version - but it also has the same problem. The references in problem are to Frontpage - I can't believe that I can't just remove them and create them again.... ----- Original Message ----- From: John W.

Is the mdb file read only now? Check with windows explorer and set back to r/w if it is read only. When copying from CD to disk the file is copied Read Only. John W.

I burned a copy of the modified version to bring home to continue working on and now the references are causing me some problems. Client had Frontpage refs which are newer than mine - so naturally when I load I get 'Missing' for the 2 front page files. I tried to just untick those refs and then add my versions but I simply cannot untick those missing references and click OK - I get error message 'Cannot perform requested operation'. The other thing I tried was to replace the refs by clicking browse and override the missing refs with mine - same error. BTW - I thought maybe an open form or something may be blocking me from changing the refs - but I am just shift+opening the mdb - no open forms or anything else. What am I missing?
