In addition to all the other excellent comments on this list, I suggest you take a table of, say 8 columns of data, and add a couple of hundred thousand rows to it. You can use Excel as a data source for both databases. Add the same constraints and/or indexes to the two tables. Better yet, don't put an index on the R:Base data. Do a select to find a small subset of the data. R:Base will do the same task four times while Access is still trying to find the table <G>
