>Thanks Tracy. Hmmm, I wonder if it's a VFP6 issue. I tried it on Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition and Windows 2000 Professional SP4 using VFP6 SP5 and I get the error in both cases.

Colin, I just tested this in VFP 6.0 SP5 and get the same error. However, on the same machine with VFP 7.0, I don't get the error. Looks like a problem with VFP 6.0
