That makes sense. I will make sure I turn it back on when they close the dB. Most users probably wouldn't notice at all, few other databases around (in Access anyway). But setting it back is a good idea. Thanks. Virginia *************** If I may respond... I agree with Brett, if your apps are working in an environment where your users are going to be aware of what's happening and be concerned about it. If not - the options are all yours!

Automatically changing another user's global settings to suit your application's needs is considered by many (like myself) to be very intrusive, and generally a poor practice. However, there are valid reasons for needing to do this (I think you may have touched upon one). In this case, I would strongly suggest keeping track of the user's original settings when your app launches and restoring them when it closes. Otherwise, be prepared for the confused users asking you why their other Access apps look "different" since they ran yours.
