Thanks for the compliment but I have to tell the truth I've found this trick on a message from Jim Booth...
Anyway That's what is great in this Universal Thread : we exchange ideas, help other people and try to be together to develop better products and I've never found (for the moment) such quality in other places like in this Foxpro community... I hope Microsoft & Bill Gates will hear that !!!!
