Larry: I'm with you... He wants me to consider putting the same kind of code on the main menu of another client so that's why I'm questioning this. On this other client, the main menu has a couple display-only variable lookup list views that display data from a few tables. I'm assuming that the form gathers the data to display it in the list views and never locks the tables, doing a disconnect still has the data cached so it will display, and reconnecting the database will reestablish the connection if those controls need to be refreshed..
