Paul, Could you CC the other lists instead of putting all the list names in the To. I have rules that sort things out into mail boxes and it appears that the message server transmits the message several times (or maybe you're doing that?). I use a crude if [AccessD] is in the subject and... for example in my VB folder I have FIVE copies of the message with the following in the subject: [dba-VB] [dba-SQLServer][AccessD] Auto Supply Connection strings and passwords to controls on forms(VB6 & SQL) [dba-VB] [AccessD] [dba-SQLServer]Auto Supply Connection strings and passwords to controls on forms(VB6 & SQL) [dba-VB] [AccessD] Auto Supply Connection strings and passwords to controls on forms(VB6 & SQL) [dba-VB] [dba-SQLServer]Auto Supply Connection strings and passwords to controls on forms(VB6 & SQL) [dba-VB] Auto Supply Connection strings and passwords to controls on forms(VB6 & SQL) I am getting 2 copies in my AccessD folder as well as a copy in SQL Server folder and FIVE copies in my Access-VBA folder. I think if you put just the one list name you are sending to, plus the other list names in CC perhaps this wouldn't happen. I can't tell you precisely what is going on but I can tell you I got a grand total of EIGHT copies of this message. John W.

However when it's finshed It will be moved to the live server so that everyone can gain access to it. The problem being that when I move to the live server I will have to remember to change all the ADO controls and the DataEnvironment connection manually (I don't want to have to do this if I can help it). What I thought of doing is have a table consisting of the ConnectionString, Username & Password and then a table of all the form names and ADO Controls, and somehow looping through the tables and setting the connections automatically. This is where I am stuck, I have created the tables and entered the connection strings etc, and I can do the loop which will loop through the records, but I don;t know how to set the connection strings, using the form names and ADO Controls from the tables. Am I being stupid in doing it this way ? Is there a better way to do this ? Can anyone help on this, as the application is almost finished.....? Thanks for any help in advance....
