Yep RAK that is pretty conclusive alright. Thanks, its always frustrating when you get an error 3033 or whatever and you don't know what the hell it's about.

This little book is full of useful tid-bits and I've found it very useful and informative. The book is "Access Hacks" by O'Reily written by Ken Bluttman. I would say that the book may not suit access beginners, it appears to be aimed more at novice and expert users who may not be aware of...
