Good afternoon! Evening to you, John!
I am working on getting rid of the "too many databases" message again and doing my best to decrease the chances it will crop up. From some reading I've done, it seems that using the following function in a query could be a major contributor. Yes? when I do get the "too many databases" message debugging shows that it's usually stopped at this point.
I'm considering putting the result in the underlying table. For example, once the listers are entered and the ListingContacts form is closed this would be entered for that listing in
Listings.AllContacts.
Input? I know this doesn't really follow the rules but I can only see the benefits.
Thanks,
Connie

'Purpose: Generate a concatenated string of related records.
'Return: String variant, or Null if no matches.
'Arguments: strField = name of field to get results from and concatenate.
' strTable = name of a table or query.
' strWhere = WHERE clause to choose the right values.
' strOrderBy = ORDER BY clause, for sorting the values.
' strSeparator = characters to use between the concatenated values.
'Notes: 1. Use square brackets around field/table names with spaces or odd characters.
' 2. strField can be a Multi-valued field (A2007 and later), but strOrderBy cannot.
' 3. Nulls are omitted, zero-length strings (ZLSs) are returned as ZLSs.
' 4. Returning more than 255 characters to a recordset triggers this Access bug:
