Matt,
> appropriate to the database type in question, like running a now() type > function you know will work correctly. oops, as i'm pretty new to this topic, i didn't know, that it's that important to have a verification query... i tried that before with a simple SQL-Statement like "Select * from <tableWithNotMuchContentinside>". Let's give the now() function a try - Access should understand that, i guess;). Al, i'll give that a try too - a soon as i have a posssibility to use MS-Access. but as far as i remember, the database i have to deal with isn't that complicated or consists of some very special and funky MS specific datatypes. We will see... tomorrow, i think. thanks to both of you Hauke --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en official site @ http://www.openbluedragon.org/ !! save a network - trim replies before posting !! -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
