Thanks for downloading NOJET.ZIP, the files that accompany my VBITS '95 session, "When & Where to Use Jet, or Alternatives". When you decompress this file, be sure to use PKUNZIP's '-d' option to recreate the projects' directory structure. When you've extracted the files correctly, you'll have two subdirectories under the current one: WITH will contain a sample contact database project that uses the Jet Engine and the Data Control; WITHOUT will contain a VB-only version of the same project. Thanks again for your interest -- I'd like to hear your comments on the session and/or the sample code! Phil Weber 72451,3401
