I suspected as much and that is a drag. I was hoping that I was wrong.

I also saw a hint of that in my tests. But I thought that I was doing something wrong....man, that blows. Ok, so, realistically, we can say that VFP apps should not be Active Docs and we all need to learn HTML, JavaScript, and VBScript (blech) to be effective on the web, eh?

I wonder....is it any different with VB Active Documents?

Thanks again, Rick.
