gol4 thanks. i thought it must be a network issue as the database itself is very small, very simple, very young, and has very few records. my only other thought is that one of the users may have a small utility program (screen saver, desktop...) that interferes with access/novell somehow...

thanks tempclerk, uncle jack in a related development- will i have a problem updating the form's recordset if the record source is a query? my other alternative is to make subforms out of the various groups of fields on the form and to make the recordsource the form's own table. i have a...
