David Thanks. You put me on the correct track it works great. Is there not a command I can use for my code to continue to run. When it connects I have a wait window displaying .t.

>>David, thanks for the reply.
>>this has me very confused, I have made a connection called pcrconnect and have built my remote views as the data source pcrconnect I'm using a IP address that will allow me to hit the server in our office from my home office. So what I did I change the IP address in the pcrconnect connection to the name of the server in our office and recompiled the code and installed the exe on a work station in our office. I would have thought at this point this would work.
