I think this is going to have to wait 'til we phase out Access 97--we're
still stuck here with the security settings and whatnot that are not
afforded in later versions of Access.
I'm _HOPING_ that phase out will occur in 2005 (would be nice to not be
using an 8 year old product when we have licensing for the newest [latest &
greatest] available).
We'll see what happens... 2003 out of the box seems to work pretty well as
is... only one user has said something about Outlook crashing. I can apply
the updates on her computer alone for the time being.
Thanks again for your help--much appreciated!
