Thanks this works.

I have been using VFP 5.0, and although I do have VFP 6.0, I have not really used it. The only thing I remembered about it, from a few months ago when I looked at it, was that the Help gave me a hassle. Also, with all the different service packs, I always seemed to be one behind, which also put me off. I am planning to hopefully make the leap from VFP 5.0 to VFP 7.0, if it is stable enough.

Thanks again

Regards
