>Yeah, I started to write that you should use ALEN(), but realized that wasn't sufficient, so mentioned the loop. Didn't occur to me that you didn't know you could use ALEN() on a property array. Most of VFP's A... functions work on property arrays. When they don't, you can use ACOPY() to move the array to a regular variable.

Thank you.
