Neil - I have had a devil of a time with using an ODBC-DSN connection with Access databases. It works fine as long as there is about a 60 second time delay between people who are entering data, but if two people should try to enter data at or near the same time the second person hangs and eventually times out. This has happened to me with numerous servers. I have given up on using the DSN with Access and have gone to a straight connection to the database. I don't have the problem with any other database app, just Access.Have you encountered this?Jeff
