Anita Smith!!! WOW! A blast from the past!! - Great to hear from you. I do hope all is well. Funny I was thinking of you just the other week. My Wife and I drove back from Melbourne (to Sydney) and we went by your way (We went via Wagga to see my eldest daughter). I was wondering if you were still doing this stuff and living in that part of the world. Yep, ADPs. Yeah not s lot to say there really but gorrne. Having said that some folk here use them, I don't. So they will be better set to answer those questions. Anyway, I work a lot with SQL Server and I find ODBC is just fine - Speeds are good and connections solid and learning curve not too steep. But I imagine the SQL Server side of things is not an issue for you. If you like I have a simple Access Connection and results retriever demo I can send off-list that builds the relevant fields for the grids 'on-the-fly' Again, great to hear from you.

Don't fry me if I make a mistake ;-) Anyhow, it is with horror that I find out that Access 2013 will not support Access Data Projects. Yikes! I'm wondering what the general Access Community has to say about that. Is there a preferred way of working with SQL Server as a back end? Will ODBC do the job as well?
