1) Steve is soooooooooooooooooooooo going to hear that "out-house 
consultant" line :)

2) Max has a beautiful little Access app called "EatBloat" which I believe 
is in version 4.1 at the moment ...it takes everything in your mdb and 
exports it to text files and then builds a new mdb using the exported text 
files from the old one:
    a) ime I've never had a fe corruption issue that "EatBloat" couldn't fix
    b) better yet, as its name implies, it eats all that bloat in your mdb

3) I can e you my copy but better yet would be for Max to send you his 
latest ...he did have a dl point at one time but I'm too old to recall it 
and too short-tempered these days to look for it :)
