You falsely assume Access maintains relational integrity in the first place, when in reality, Access is a daily cause of data loss every place I've ever seen it used. Access is working, quality software, but only if the goal is to cause more data loss and aggrivation in a single workplace than all the worm and virus attacks combined (my experience with Access at three different companies, a government agency (Oregon Zoo), and a public school district). That being said, they threw the kid that wrote Code Red in jail, let's do something about those Access bastards. -- Paul Johnson baloo@ursine.dyndns.org http://ursine.dyndns.org/
