Yes, the clarification helps. The most helpful place for it to be is in the tool, making it clear that if this is a layout table it should not use th elements, but otherwise they should be present. (I have to admit I haven't played with the tool much, so I am not well-placed to commetn in detail really) cheers Charles On Tue, 15 Jan 2002, Derren wrote: Actually the evaluation and repair tool, AccessEnable, is merely flagging tables as warnings, or possible problems that require human judgement. The key word in the warning is "possible". Since, it is difficult to determine from the code whether or not a table is being used for layout or data purposes, it is necessary to flag these items and allow for human judgement. If the tables are for layout, the user can simply choose to ignore the warning and provide a justification note. I hope this clarifies things.
