Gordon, This is the explantion I retrieved on the -218 error using the finderr utility. I hope it helps. -218 Synonym (name) not found. The specified synonym is not defined in this database. Inspect the name; if it is spelled as you intended, make sure you are using the database you thought. If so, the synonym must have been dropped. Possibly it was dropped automatically when the table for which it stood was dropped. You can display all defined synonyms with a query on systables as follows: SELECT tabname FROM systables WHERE tabtype = "s" -----Brian Minnick
