Top-Posting really screws up the thread... But anyway, using VSS does not assure a stable database state. You would at least need to 'sync' (or stop) the database to ensure such a state. Now in practice, the database may be robust and you may just lose the last entry but taking a VSS is not a recommended method. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
