Thanks, Sarah... Sorry, my question was too broad. What I was referring to primarily was an application front-ending a database that has a search function. For instance, a name and address file, or in my case, a personnel file where the only way to browse the file is with a search function. If I am communicating from a Rev app and I know the person I want to search for in the other, non-Rev app, can I interact with the fields in the non-Rev app?... Jim
