Hello Robert, That did the trick. I have used Approach since it came out in the 90's as a small company in the south Bay Area with 10 employees. But that one I would not have figured out on my own. Thank you very much. Of course... I was thinking I shoud change to MS Access some day as Approcah is no longer supported .. Do you know if a Approach view file will open in MS Access so I dont have to rebuild my whole Aproach view file and databases in MS Acess ? Mark Tanner South San Francisco / El Dorado Hills, Ca
