Hi Access Masters. I want to slick-tify a simple process...just because I know it can be done and I want to know how. Currently the DB is one query based on two ODBC tables with a 1-1 join. We have a form on which is a button that when clicked produces the query grid. The ODBC tables and the query itself are hidden. That's it. Simple. Isn't there a way to have an event that links the tables and produces the result without having to have the tables physically in the DB so all the user would have to do is fill in date and user parameters and BAM - results? Could I also use a Pass-Thru to handle the log-in? Could the user ID in the Pass-Thru also be used to handle the user parameter so the user only enters his or her user ID once? Any suggestions welcome. /g _____ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed 11092 Spam messages and set aside 0 Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! www.ellaforspam.com ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
