I would say, that if you do a good database design, it won't matter as to wetter you do it in access or access with an msde back, or any other tool. If you need to move it to SQL server, you'll need to do work anyway. So long your structure is good; you won't need to change it, which will in turn make the rest easier. Rodrigo.

On a different tack but still relating to improving the Forum here is an idea I have been hitting about for awhile. The original poster of a thread will have an option to say "Yes, thank you, this thread/question is now answered". Answering Yes would relegate that thread to the bottom of the forum (above other Yes answered threads naturally). A lot of the time really interesting posts are hidden way down in the history of the forum and new members or non-regular members tend to miss them, even if they have the exact answer to that thread. Naturally some posts are not really questions, in which case they need not have a "Yes, answered" option. Just a suggestion :) regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org
