While the theory behind this is sound, a quick caveat: Access' SQL is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in left field somewhere, and you might find you need to do considerable tweaking to get the same results out of Access & MySQL. You might want to consider some sort of db abstraction layer to make the transition a bit easier - it's more work up front, but the benefits are many :-) Cheers Jon ********************************************************************** 'The information included in this Email is of a confidential nature and is intended only for the addressee.
