Hi AceMan and Remou, I've decided to go with Remou's suggestion and make the users use their brains a bit like AceMan points out. BTW since fixing the corruption I've been able to compact the database from 87Mb to 3.5Mb! Thanks again for your advice and comments.

Hi all, After finally resolving some corruption issues in one of my databases (thanks again Ramou and AceMan) I have a general question or three. I have a table where one of the fields is an OLEObject datafield that stores a CAD drawing image. When the table was first developed it was...

Thanks Remou, Sure learnt a lot with this exercise. The link was especially useful.

Hi All, I know this is simple but I can't seem to get it working.[sadeyes] I have a form that is run from a command button. The form runs a Query which searches a text field in a table and returns the results on the form. What I want is for the search string to be passed on to the form so...
