In your OOo Form/Subform properties in the Data tab, do you specify a Table, Query, or SQL as the content type? I think if you specify SQL, and type or paste the actual MS Access query (with functions) into the content box, then the query will be sent directly as a pass-through query and interpreted by MS Access. The setup for the master/slave linking should use the names or aliases derived from the form/subform queries to link the master field in the form to the slave field in the subform. This all assuming that you're connecting via ODBC to MS Access, because I don't think OOo can read MDB files directly yet. If you're reading the MDB file directly somehow then this is not going to help. This is just a guess - I can't check if what I'm saying is at all useful. Hope this helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
