I had some problems like this, but it dealt with Security Issues regarding user rights. Gerry.

Of course ... thx Michael

Are you certain that you have capitalized OnOK the same in all classes? The fact that CDialog::OnOK is being called when you call CMyDialogBase::OnOK would seem to be a direct indicator that CMyDialogBase::OnOK doesn't exist (or may be spelled or capitalized differently).

Yup - and you might also look at SaveDC() and RestoreDC().

Yep, that's it, thanks.

Look at DAOTABLE sample in VC++ help. It shows how to create tables, fields,and indexes... Walter ================== The original message was: I'm using an Access 97 database and I want to change this value programmatically (updating users databases). I can read it by calling GetFieldInfo() using AFX_DAO_ALL_INFO, but there is no SetFieldInfo() function. Any suggestions?
