Mike,
First, I suggest that you read: . EEP Restricted Commands . EEP Specific Commands http://www.RSyntax.com Click on "Syntax Reference" and then follow the table of contents for a specific topic. Meanwhile, you cannot CONNect database in an EEP for the following reasons: 01. An EEP is Form Specific 02. A Form is Database Specific 03. If you try to CONNect another database, guess what? You know it ... First, you need to CLOSEWINdow, which closes the form. Then, in a command file, you CAN connect to another database and go from there ... Hope that helps! Very Best Regards, Razzak.
