Access 2007 introduced TempVars. These are very cool critters. They can be created in macros or in VBA, and once created can be used similar to global variables or local variables in macros or VBA, but also can be used for example in query criteria, and in calculated fields, and then Control Source expressions of form or report controls. Access 2010 goes a step further. This is still not to the extent that you would no doubt desire, but it's still worth noting that "don't support variables" isn't quite true. Regards Steve
