Hi Alex, Mark, Tom, You guys scare me ! I'm beginning to think I'd better start looking for a new back end. I've put a lot of work into this project. Tom, this is not a small database like an address book. After normalizing, my design has 16 tables.( with a few more coming as I've discovered as I feed more data into it.) If I connect to an external server is there any way I can save my forms and reports? Or shall I have to start anew ? My tables, queries and views were all produced using SQL and I have text copies of all of them to feed any server I might select. Transfer of data becomes a problem, of course. Hank
