Juan,

I copied and pasted that code into both the VFP5a and VFP6 command window, highlihted it, rightclicked and selected Execute Selection. It ran fine both times.

I've not yet installed the VS98 SP1, nothing I'm actively working on requires it, so I'm waiting till I get the MSDN CD instead of doing a multigigabyte download from the net. If you go to the MS site you can get the VS98 SP1. I'm also Win95 OSR2 instead of NT.

>Reinstalled Office 97 and re-applied SM1. Applied SP4 to my NT 4.0 OS.
