It would most likely be much quicker (and simpler) just to utilize the OS's file coping feature to copy the table. What would be gained with the attaching databases approach over just a straight file copy? Fred > -Original Message- > From: Rich Rattanni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent:

Wow! Talk about obfuscated code! I didn't even try to dig deeper than a quick scan, but could this abomination be broken into multiple update queries? On the surface it looks like each "group" is unique. If so, wouldn't a transaction with multiple update statements be much more efficient and a

Is there a reason you can use Excel's "Format Cells" to accomplish what you wish? Enter a "Custom" format of "\mm\dd" in a cell and enter "=today()" as a value in that cell. Have not fooled with Excel much lately, but I think you can even format a spreadsheet programmatically. Fred >
