Thanks. Unfortunately, my Access help is essentially non-functional. 75% of the time, I can search (or ask a question) and get the silly list of hits, but when I click on any hit, nothing happens. Help seems to work OK in all other MS applications. I guess I should be happy that MSHelp works as well as it does. On my previous day-to-day computer, every time I updated Office2K with a patch, SP, SR, etc., the utility of MSHelp declined. By the time I was running the most recent updates, MSHelp did not work at all for any appl. So on my current machine I am running SR-1.

So I play around with the browser and try to ferret out what might work. I am at another disadvantage in that my thought process and Access are close to orthogonal. I honestly do not understand why MS has made Access so cumbersome and illogical.

I thought of using bookmarks (their intent seems almost logical) but believed that there must be some way to simply access the "kth" field of the "jth" record of the "ith" table as, e.g.,

db.table(I).record(J).field(K).property

Heck, an Access table is just a sparsely populated, 2D tensor, what is the big deal?
