Hi Stuart I've not seen this. I did a test with a simple database - A2002 in A2000 format - and it ran with no issue. Perhaps you have encountered a special case bug? /gustav >>> stuart at lexacorp.com.pg 25-08-2006 04:16 >>> On 24 Aug 2006 at 20:23, William Hindman wrote: > "Note that if you do not create objects or write to internal tables in your > frontend database, you may be able to write protect the frontend file > itself. That frees you from any corruption or bloat." /gustav > I've just had a problem with this. I've got an A2K application (developed in A2K mode on an A2K2 installation) that runs startup code from an Autoexec macro, including opening the initial menu form. If the mdb is RO, it doesn't execute the macro on A2K so the user just just see a blank window with no menu. It works fine under A2K2. Opening the database window and trying to run the macro gives a message: "Microsoft can't find the macro Autoexec. The macro (or it's macro group) doesn't exist, or the macro is new but hasn't been saved........" As soon as I remove the RO attribute from the file, it works perfectly under both versions. -- Stuart McLachlan
