You're right, Jim, and I'm sure that's where I got it.

It even lived in Microsoft's own help files way back when in earlier Access versions. I think I first used it in 97 after I had found Shamil's DEEP article, but I don't think I got the technique from him.

Not sure if my bosses (client) will let me use it though - will have to approach it gently. I've got two questions. Firstly will it work on an MDE? Secondly am I right in thinking that the Add-In would only be needed on the development machine because it does a once-and-for-all change to the referenced MDB/MDE? So once the add-in has done its work if the Fe and MDE are then copied down to a user's machine will everything run ok without the user needing the Add-In? -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
