Liz

You are too funny! Yes, coffee Mongo's friend!

In answer to your queston, Anything that runs in an MDB should run in
an MDE except code that tries to open a form, report or macro in
design view OR code that alters and saves a form, report or macro. In
other words you cannot do this:

DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acDesign

OR this:

Forms!Form1.RecordSource = "qryMyQuery"
DoCmd.Save acForm, "Form1"

You have to remember that a form, report or macro is protected from
permanent change. You can still make changes on the fly, but cannot
save them. the object will revert back to its original design.

On changing a RecordSource...You just have to have the form open in
form view or datasheet view to TEMPORARILY change it. (man, it's
tough holding the Shift key down while typing. Who am I kidding it's
just plain tough typing at all.)
