The database was huge and approximately 20 fields including 10 OLE dields.  I never have any problem. DBI people are true professionals, they cannot leave any field unattnded.  I have read your book several time and you also have very high word about them. Now back to problem.  How can I display one page at a time in OLE field (dbf or wfm). 2. How to create link you mentioned above. I appreciate your help Best regards,   Intsar
