Hi Ray. I don't update the data, I import it. I was thinking along the
lines of some way to match fields in the new import against fields in
the previous import to eliminate identical records. The number of
fields probably exceeds the matching query thing (I think 10 is the
limit there). I don't think I can do an IIF statement either like if
all 25 fields match, "Y", otherwise "N" so all I'd have to do is work
with records with an N. I'm limited to what I'm familiar with so threw
the question out for some of you geniuses. Sorry I didn't give enough
detail the first time. /g

Glenda,
One thing you could do would be to add a field to the table definition
with a date/time format. Then get your entry form to write the NOW()
value to that field whenver a record is updated.
I'm assuming you're opening the whole table as a recordset. Instead, you
can use an SQL string just to load updated records into the recordset by
putting a WHERE satement in the SQL to only include records with
date/timestamps later than the last 'systemcheck' date and time.
Every time you run your routine, you can write a NOW() value to a
special table which overwrites the last 'systemcheck' date and time.
