Mark,

I am sooo sorry.... I modi'd the structure and went down to the field name and hit the "end" key and found that there was an "er" on the end of "currentnumb", that didn't show. This table came with the framework otherwise I would have known what I named the field. I know, I know...I am just trying to make an excuse for my stupidity.

Thanks again,
Paul
