Hi Herman

That is cool. It gets the line to the top.

I have long been thinking of using SendMessage to correspond between other foxpro programs (possibly on different computers) but I am not sure what I can pass in the WPARAM & LPARAM parameters and exactly how I pick them up in the receiving program.

Do you know?
