The db was created by a client using some export thingy from MS Access. It worked; but when I did a dump, and then wanted to re-create on my system, it choked. My problem existed in the fact that my client had "sentences" as field names :-) Not sure why the export worked, but it was sure a nightmare to fix. I would be interested is knowing whether your prob is indeed a naming issue. v/r -Mike
