That's what I suspected. I just wanted to check to make sure I was not overlooking the obvious. Guess I'll have to dig into the application that provides the var's and make a change.

Thanks for your help,
Mike


>Recently I created an application that displays stored 'memorizer' variables. Essentially I used the RESTORE FROM command here. All variables started with 'M_' and had consequtive numbers, like M_1, M_2, etc. Therefore, a FOR/NEXT was enough for me. So, my job was somewhat easier than yours.

I'm thinking I will have to dig into the source programs to pass the values I need in a "clean" fashion. This function has to run efficiently in a mtdll so I don't want to be writing and reading to files or parsing a memo field just to get the values.
