If you're copying to another directory, be sure to take the .LOB file with it, or it won't work in windows. I'm not sure if the lob file is strictly for forms, and reports uses another extension or not. However, before I did ANYTHING, I would make a backup so you can play and be sure it works OK. Not that I would EVER louse up my databases by playing, and need to restore that copy <g> Damon Damon D. Kaufman President Stalder Spring Works, Inc ISO-9002 / QS-9000 Certified 2345 S.
