Tom,

Thanks for the info. I will play with it.

Opps, I mistyped my query name. Query name should have been
qrytblClass_Count. My naming convension for better or worse is

qry for a true query that answer a question.
qrytbl ... for a "logical view" of a table or series of joined tables
qryupd for an update query
qryapp for an append query

etc.

Do you have a better suggestion for a name convension?

Thanks,

Dennis
