    MDIForm

    Change the controlbox property of the form, to remove the buttons on the top right. You can hide the min and max button if you set the MinButton and MaxButton properties to False. However, if you only set one of these properties to False, then the three buttons will appear, with the relevant...

    I am having problems changing my co

    Try 3.60 instead of 3.51 - you must have the updated Jet engine on the server for it to work (the easiest way to do this is install Access2000 on the server). Simon

    Wouldn't it be better to use <cfindex ...> to index the database fields, and let CF do the matching for you, returning a percentage match, as with all other searches on the web?? Simon
