Hi Anita et al Thanks for the response Excellent - it got me one step closer Now I am unable to get the SQL Server properties dialogue box to come up You know the one - http://www.blueclaw-db.com/website_database_connections/udl.gif Even when I Include a tool bar with the "File | Connection" item from the FILE tool bar I can see the tool bar I added - but when I click It nothing happens - no dialogue at all I have even set up a Macro (RunCommand | ConnectDatabase) still won't work I even set it up to work via code - Still no joy Any reason why that dialogue will appear in full blown access but not in the runtime? It all hangs on this little bit - If I can get that Dialogue to appear - I think it will be deliverable Darren ----------------- T: 1300 301 731 -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Anita Smith Sent: Thursday, 18 October 2007 1:50 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access Data Project (ADP) and Access Runtime Darren, I normally run a function before I ship my database to make sure that the adp has no connection string. I run this from the debug window: MakeADPConnectionless IsConnectionSet = False You should then be able to set the connection on open of the adp. This is the function I use to remove the current connection: Public Function MakeADPConnectionless() As Boolean ' Close the connection. Application.CurrentProject.CloseConnection ' Set the connection to nothing. Application.CurrentProject.OpenConnection ' Set the flag... MakeADPConnectionless = True End Function The Shift Key won't work in runtime mode.
