Thomas --

Thanks for the detailed explanation, which I plan on following when time permits (right now is never a good time, is it?)

I've been able to get a download working that finds possible references in open forms, which has been successful in finding four references so far, which, if nothing else, should help reduce the errors I've been getting.

My hope is that is sufficient for the time being.

I plan on returning to your suggestion, if for no other reason than to learn more about VFP and how it works, and how to set things up for myself.

Thanks once again,

Jim
