Hi Paul,

I did try this initially. The issue I ran into, was the sql statement was very long and complex. Using the OpenDataSource function, the SQLStatement and SQLStatement1 parameters seemed to not be large enough for this query.

Working with Access regularly, it was easy to establish a connection and recordset, and throw the data I need into a file. It doesn't change very often, so this disconnected data works very well.
