fix

Yes, the OaRept-DRA_Server_name.mdb holds all the data that is gathered during the import process and all the imported information is held in tables.  No code, queries or reports are held in the OaRept-DRA_Server_name.mdb.   You can open the OaRept-DRA_Server_name.mdb in Access and manipulate the data. If, however, you open any of the tables in design view and rename a field, the Reporting tool will return errors when reports are selected that attempt to use a field that has been renamed.
