Oh darn, I guess I didn't realize this was a VFP app. Sorry!

But, the "chunky" vs "chatty" still applies, that's for sure. I know we did it that way that back in my old "VFP with SQL Server" days ... I just don't remember any of the specifics. Too many years ago, and I *am* getting to be an old fart! <g>
