Glenda, Where is your data stored? Which version of Access are you using? James -----Original Message----- From: Glenda Wells [mailto:gwells@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 12:43 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Access :VSMail mx1 Hi All. I've followed the discussion of Access vs Excel and have to say I agree with everyone! They each have their uses for any give situation. I don't know if I could pick one over the other since I do a lot with each and wish I could do more but unlike many others here, I'm no expert so need a suggested course of action. I'm attempting to retrieve data from queries/sub-queries in reports and have been getting the DAO._DBEngine Failure error. A search of Microsoft brought back nothing I could understand except that perhaps it has something to do with ODBC? maybe? Any advice appreciated. /g _____ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed 10958 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.
