Hi Dave:
FYI.
Nothing seemed to work to solve this problem. Reviewed all I had done and could find no glitches, tried your suggestion, also to no avail.
Reloaded VFP 3.0, and guess what. Problem solved. Something must have happened that caused some corruption somewhere. I guess this one will remain a puzzle.
At any rate, many thanks for the feedback.
Bob
Peace and thanks.
