From my limited understanding of a "database rebuild". Databases, no matter who's database it is, Microsoft or others have a tendancy to get out of sinc because of constant adding or deleting records, (names, address, descriptions, emails, etc). So aw2k is giving us an upfront relink-sort routine to fix the problem before it becomes a REAL problem. I always do a rebuild right after a backup. I have read other discussions where a recommended rebuild fixed the problem. Hope this helps. Yes a rebuild takes time but this is good time vs. 'bad' time. rodgw
