Did not know that you still played ;-)))

>Thank you for your suggestions. The more I think about this top the more I see that it is a utopia, a far as implementation. In order for my app to work with the SFQUERY, it has to have a complete VFP database - containers, DBF, FTP, etc. Even though the application is using the SQL Server database. So I would have to change the SFQUERY and many other aspects of the application. So for now, I am leaving it just as is. I have tons of other features to implement and need to choose where to put my time. The question I asked of Craig (way back) was more an academic.
>Again, thank you.

You are welcome - just want to make sure you don't also leave some blood in areas where I danced on cutting edge a few years ago ;-)
