    Hi, I'm using ODBC to query a database that can be selected by the user at runtime. This query "SELECT * FROM MSysObjects WHERE Type = 1 AND NOT Name LIKE 'MSys%'" will return a list of table names fine, but unfortunately, persmissions on the ACCESS DB must be set to ADMIN for this query to succeed. Is there another way to get table names from a DB without having to first alter persmissions? or is there a programatic way to alter permissions? Thanks.

      Hi, I seemed to have solved it using SQLTables() function....Thanks anyway. "Ergo huffabo et puffabo et tuam domum inflabo" ait magnus malus lupus. "Non per comam men-men-menti!" ait porcellus.
