Search results for query: *

Thanks Leslie. That's exactly what I did in the first place. The join on the query using groups and aggregates make the query so it's not updatable. I understand why grouping records does this, but can't find a different way to do it. It might be that I have to live with it until the database...

Thanks again. It looks like it's in the right direction, but I get an error on that (syntax error in from clause). I can't work out what it should be. Access97 by the way if that makes a difference (should have mentioned that in my first post).

Although it might not give you detailed information, I just do a check for the record locking information, so something like: If Dir(&quot;database.ldb&quot;) <> &quot;&quot; Then MsgBox &quot;Compact failed. Please make sure all users have closed the database before compacting&quot...
