Did a project (as a sub-contractor) like that a few years ago - Access 97 and Oracle. Must have done it very well because when I ask the main contractor about it they say "still using it, they love it." The whole time I'm writing it I'm thinking "why don't they just keep all the data in Oracle all the time and use an Access front end for what this particular department wants to do?" I guess sometimes the politics of IT control are more important than efficiency. BTW this client had a larger budget than any other client I have ever worked for. They could have afforded to do it more sensibly. John B.
