>I appreciate your suggestion. I've only been using VFP for about three months and am having fun using it to program. My emphasis is polymer (plastics) chemsitry with a minor in computer science and this is my first real exposure to an event driven language. I really like the forum and am glad it was created. Thanks again for your help.

You're welcome. When I first started using VFP, I found this forum to be my single most valuable resource for troubleshooting as well as strategy ideas. I am glad to be able to give back some of what I have received.
