Thanks Susan. I'm almost there. I chose to go with the oledb connection. I know this sounds simple to you, but I am stuck. One of my expressions in Access was to reference two items input by the user in two different text boxes. I would then use those for calculations and print a report. In the .adp, I can't get the expression to work. When I look at help, it gives me the same references to the form that I was using in Access. The view in the .adp keeps putting quotes around my expression and treating it like text. For example, one of the expressions calculates area. =[forms]![frmmacolalabel]![swidth] * [forms]![macolalabel]![length] What am I doing wrong? I'm using the Alias column to put the "Area" in. Help!
