Hi Darren: Why not have a complete copy of the current DB on their laptop or remote computer and just sync the DBs. The process is usually very fast, even on a 56K link and then the tables can be re-synced back into the office master when updating is completed.

So far they are very pleased. But just the other day....They now want to be able to use the app after hours at home on their laptops. (And they are prepared to pay for this major re-direction) So this means connecting (in some cases) to the back end using dial up <Sheesh> Am I in the wrong business here? Is this time to migrate the App to be browser based? (Which I know nothing about by the way) If you guys have successfully got your Access Apps to work at any decent sort of speed over dial up can you let me know how?? Many thanks Darren -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
