sri I should add, I tried putting a /excl switch at the end but it says I don't have permission to open it for exclusive access

ok I'm back !! While I can now open the database, unfortunately it won't let me make changes to it as it keeps saying I don't have exclusive access to it. How do I get around that? I noticed the same thing happens when I am onsite even if I make sure no-one else has it opened? tks

Thank you so much that worked beautifully !!

Thanks for that I'll give it a go. I'm usually really good at searching and have found most of my answers that way, but for this one I didn't really know how to search cos I wasn't sure how it would be worded !:) tks

ok I shouldn't have been so hasty in my reply ! how do I create a shortcut? I tried creating a shortcut on the desktop and then just changing the target path to your suggestion above (with my parameters) but it says it's not valid and won't allow me? Did you mean something else by a shortcut? tks

Ok I got it ! Just needed square brackets around the field names ! just in case anyone else needs this info ! :)

Ok I'm back it's not working for me ! I keep getting an invalid syntax error saying I may have entered an operand without an operator. I've tried playing around with it and adding [ ] brackets at various places, but then it seems to think it's a parameter query and looks for more info? cld the...
