I know that after you mess with the start up options you can bypass that by holding down the shift key when you open the database.

yes the days of the week are in one text box. Its named [Days]. do you mean have five yesno fields named after each day and just check the days they can work? that would be a good idea, its just Im working with imported data from an old RBase and the data is listed in one field named days.

I have a report which lists for an individual person the days they can work. ex. M,T,W,H,F or a combination such as M,W,F. so it resembles this john doe M Jane Doe M,W,F Tim Smith T Bob Dell T,H I would like to some how sort these results by days first by individual day and then groups...
