Thanks Erik,

Yes, I found it myself, at last, but oh how much sweat! I really could have used a good book with more details on this subject. I have spent days trying to read VFP data inside a macro, only to discover that it is essential to refer to the field names in capital letters. I first tried with an index (n) etc., and that put me on to the case sensitivity.

Now, my main concern is how to pass parameters to word, I welcome any tips you might have.

Rolf
