Gary, While I'm thinking about this. My program on the initial run looks to see if the data file(s) exist. If they don't then it creates all the sub-directories below where the program resides. At some point the OS then changes\copies the .mdb files and puts them (I think) into the user directory. When they start the program again it opens the original file but makes the changes\updates to the one down in the user directory, then it looks like the changes were nver saved to the user.As long as the program is running the updates\changes stay. This is why I asked if changing the file extenion to something other than .mdb the OS won't recognize the file as a data file and leave it alone.
