I would like to thank cornerstone and samara for their help. Unfortunately, like will5, it didn't work. Is there maybe something simple that I am forgetting?<br><br>I have "Using Access 97" Second Edition and another Programming in Access 97 handbook and I can't find these tips and tricks in either. Where do you look this stuff up? Can you recommend a better book? I have only been working with Access for about half a year. I have no expierence with computer programming or SQL. Is there an easy-read type of handbook for this stuff? The Programming book that I have is unfortunately in German (I am american, but work in Germany). My German is good, but not that good that I understand all these specialized terms for programming. <br>Thank you so much for all your help.
