I also think that anybody who uses MDEs but can't explain what they are for is someone is not at what I'd call a competent level. -- David W.

Add a couple of tables with a couple of records. Create a form with a wizard. Now convert to an mde. Open the MDE. Can you modify the form? Can you modify the query? Are you worried now? Or one doesn't need to answer the question in the first place. It isn't personal. The answer could have be more welcoming or not answered at all. I haven't seen any other posts from Lay so the "keep blithely asking people" line made me wonder what crossed your wires. Advice like "Try reading the help file." isn't very helpful. A pointer to a topic in the helpfile might be more useful. To me, an annoying question like me would be "Help, I keep getting a 2617 error. How do I fix it?" As if we've all memorized the error numbers that can be produced in Access. But this is just my opinion.
