Thanks Isladogs. Perfectly clear. Will see if we can have a budget for this in due time. Still: would really like to have a stress test.

Hello CJ_London. Thanks for the input. What I'm doing is using Access only as the front end because it is the quickest tool I know for designing decent-looking forms and reports. I populate my controls (combos, listboxes, etc) by shooting instructions to the back-end. All the actual SQL queries...

Hello! When I make a replacement BMP launch graphic to replace the Access launch graphic, I notice that if i make a tiny BMP (6k, black letters on white background) the same name as the application, this is correctly shown on application launch.
