I deleted the entire project on my computer, then copied a backup from 2 days ago back from my network storage.

Opened the project, added DF1Com5 & DataSubscription1 to every page that they weren't on, then pasted the final code above into each D.S., closed all forms & rebuilt.

Now it works fine. (Until I find something else to break)

Archie,

Just tried the whole-word-of-bits just like you had in the first suggestion and it works great.

The reason the bits do not work with that code is because the result of a reading a bit is a string of True or False. But when writing to a boolean, the driver only accepts a 0 or 1
