"OMG Please help!!" is not a very descriptive subject! your thread will get read last!! MS claim Access will handle Databases upto 1GB - this does not mean tht your host will allow you to use 1gb of their drives though!! If your database is SQL server then capaicty is not an issue...

Thanks for the info I've got it up and running a star for you both, as you both were heading towards .Properties("Description") and that solved the problem =)

I have several fields in several tables that contain a numeric ID representing a contact record in another database (hence not linked) I am in need of creating a method to update this ID in every occurance, I was thinking of For Each tbl In CurrentDb.TableDefs For Each fld In tbl.Fields...
