Wes, that's interesting, I've never tried playing with my .mdb file in Access 2K while
DXBase was still open.
I will have to try this.

I was aware that Access had backward compatibility. But I'm always paranoid.
That's why I have so many daily multiple location backups. LOL

I wonder if that can be a workaround to the 'Find/Replace' crash I get if I'm doing a
large amount of replacing?
Not sure if others experience this. But say I wanted to change the callsign in the
Operator column. It will work, one at a time using the 'Next' button, but if I tell it to
change them all, DXBase crashes. I'm thinking it could be machine specific due to memory
requirements even though both my machines have 512MB.
