That was incredibly nice of you Steve. Thanks!

I have an error on this line when trying to run it:

		oTemp = NEWOBJECT('ColManager','coll.vcx')

It can't find the class, but I put the class files in the same directory as the program. I also set classlib to it. Then I tried using the code-based (non-vcx) version that I got using the class browser, but I'm not sure of the call syntax when it is defined in the program as opposed to the VCX.

UPDATE: Got it! Just had to leave out the coll.vcx part of the NEWOBJECT. Thanks again!

>>>Very similar to EDI. Is there always a CR, LF, or some sort of character at the end of each record (which is called a segment in EDI terms)?
