Hi Val

To understand your problem I need clarification on a couple of things. I have experienced linked tables causing forms to display #Deleted, but not the data disappearing from the form. The #Deleted is well documented on the net and generally relates to keys/indexes.

Firstly, what exactly do you mean by a proxy table? Are these just links to SQL Server created using ODBC or some form of (pass-through) query?

Secondly, do you users access a common fron end or do they all have seperate copies? I guess what I'm getting at here is if they are all using the same front-end, then one user may be upseting the data source of another. If you are using ODBC links this will be unlikely.

Cheers
