Peter-- If it's SQL Server, my guess is you're connecting via an ODBC DSN (or via a so-called DSN-less connection). If so, you'll need to speak with the DBA (the administrator) of the particular SQL Server database to which you're trying to connect to be sure you have a valid user login and password for that database. You can save that login and password as part of the ODBC DSN, and you'll not have to input it again. If you're using a DSN-less connenction, you'll need to hard code the user name and password into the connection string stored inside your VBA code. Hope I didn't confuse you too much. ;-) --Jim -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter A.

Peter-- It depends; to which type of databases is your main Access application trying to connect? If it's a SQL Server database, for instance, that backend DB itself manages its own authentication schema. The same goes for Oracle, for example. If the backend is another Access DB, that application might be using other than the default Access login/password combo. Too, if your trying to connect to, say, a flat database file residing on a network share, the operating system may be asking you for access to the remote machine. So, again: which type of database(s) is/are your main Access application trying to connect to? --Jim Pettit -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter A.

I have been writing science programs too long to believe it did make an impact, but the fact it changed then sure was a strange coincidence. -Copy- FWIW ... My next move would be to build another new form and include only one field field to display. If that works.. delete it and build another form to display 2 fieilds... and so on. Start simple ... get unsimpler. Also, are you including the photos there or links to them? -End- No to both questions. I am including the photo NAME though. My photo names are useful to *ME* and I can find the photo fast on a DVD-R or hard drive, but most of us would probably balk at my naming scheme. If I take a picture today, at 3:15:00pm, I am naming that photo: 200504101515000001.TIFF Translation: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSnnnn.ext As long as we have long name ability, that will work. I am using the data in Access to make 4 by 5" labels I stick on the back of the photo giving peoples' names, births, marriages, deaths, locations, etc. Lisa, Jim, everyone, thank you for your responses. If I find out the cause why the first file did not import but the second file did, I will post it.

Highlight it and then use the little icon with the triangle ruler and pencil in. I can't tell you the name exactly 'cause this is a Dutch version... sorry.. but I think it's "Design". That should open the form in Design mode.
