Of course I consider it an application running in it's thread, that is exactly what it is. And AFAICT JET runs it all, every last little bit. If you run code, jet causes it to execute. JET is way more than a database engine, although a database engine is one of the things it is. If anyone can point to anything that says ANYTHING runs without JET being involved I am absolutely willing to read all about it, but my understanding is that JET is the top level boss. John W.
