That worked. I don't know why my slow skull didn't think of trying that first. Thanks.

Well problem solved, but mystery is not. Why am I able to assign a string of that length, and access it, but not able to directly pass it as a parameter?

>(BTW, I *think* you have the MSDN library, so I didn't bother searching mine. Is this correct? That you have it?)

Yeah, I have it, but I usually don't remember to search it until I am about put a gun barrell in my mouth because I am so frustrated. Maybe its time to change huh?
