Thanks to all of you who gave suggestions about inserting into ACCESS from RBASE. Thanks especially to Sami for telling me it did work. That caused me to remember I had just inserted some items into ACCESS, but it was via a DSN less connection. I recreated that type of connection and, eureka!, it worked! I am not sure why the regular ODBC connection does not allow the insert operation.

Jim - check your rights in the Access database - can you insert a row from within Access?

You may need to DECLARE CURSOR and then create statements of the form INSERT VALUES for each record you want to insert. -- Larry
