I have no access to the real tables; they're locked down. I do have access to views. If it's querying tables and not views, it will pass the connect test, and it will fail to return anything in the way of a list of tables. Unless someone (Oleg? me?) wants to update dbman to allow for no tables reported back (with the wrong number of columns in that case) or unless my DBA wants to make tables visible, I think that may be it for me and dbman in this case. Thanks for the quick answer. Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
