Thanks for all the help/suggestions you have given OHM...I appreciate it. I will send a new post later today to let everyone know what the results are after my system is restored. I think (hope) I have it handled through the class module - I need to tell Phil thanks again for setting me on that path. I guess I just don't undertstand why the way we connect makes so much difference on how I have to get the Row/Cell values from the datagrid. Thanks again Colee
