Desiree- Whenever you "turn off" system warnings, as has been correctly
suggested, it's also a good practice to create your own error handling. You
might want to put a DCount statement as a condition one line below the append
query in the same macro to validate the record was added to your table and
have the condition=true fire your own message box, then set warnings back on.
The last thing you want is for a user to "think" a record appended when it
really didn't (they wouldn't know BECAUSE the warnings were turned off!) ...
just a thought from someone that's written several proprietary Access
applications.
