Thanks, Craig. I wish there were more VFP champions like you out there. I'm fully willing to play in this component world, using VFP, VB, etc. etc. However, with incorrect info. like this in a summary sheet, which seemed designed specifically for management types to peruse and make decisions from, VFP is not going to get a chance in this 'new component world' that MS likes to tout regularly.
