Thanks Lisa and please tell me more about saving in the database itself.
I also have DBs not controlled by the vendor in which this might be most
useful.
One thing I do VERY OFTEN is find the maximum of various categories. For
example, I need the latest email address by date. To get this, I create
a query called maxEmail that contains the person UID and the maximum
date in the email table. Then I create another query that includes
maxEmail and the email table matched on UID and the max date, the result
of which I use for whatever the email address is needed. I have to
recreate this set of queries EVERY TIME I need the current email
address. Same thing for telephone number and home address or current
activity record. It's repetitive and time consuming, not to mention
boring (an not the best use of the powerful tool Access can be).=20

Hi Glenda,
Just thinking about your not being able to save SQL queries. What about
saving them in the database itself? It's a bit more work but then it's
copy and paste and you could even create a little app that runs the
queries without that maybe.
Oops... Just reread your mail. You could still maybe create a report
with the SQL in it.
