>Where do you create the lcText variable (it should be local). Also, you may want to use m.lcText just to make sure it's a variable. Also, could it be that some other code is executed instead?

lcText is at the beginning of the method....

LOCAL lcFile,lnHandle,lcText,lcData,lnData,lcSig

I looked for some other code that might have run instead of this, but did not find any that created the lengthy string that is created in this method....

Thanks!
