[Quoted] Thanks Gerard, but I've been told in no uncertain terms that I'n not allowed to put any files on the Forms server or the Web Server. Somehow, the data has to get straight from the Database Server to the client PC. We're using Forms V6.x.x by the way.

We do have a way of doing this at the moment, but it involves the user opening and using two other tools in addition to Forms. It's a bit cumbersome but it works, and that will probably have to do for now.

Anyway, thanks for yours and others contributions and suggestions.

Tony
