While not particularly nice, I think you could use the do_sql function within Report2 to achieve this. We currently use Plus to provide a password change facility under Forms3, but I can not seem to find a way to make Plus (or plus31 to be more precise) operate silently under Forms4/Windows. Are you worried about using Plus for this reason (ie. on screen noise), or are there other reasons for avoiding it (for example, is Plus going to get the RPT treatment)?
