Hi Lance,

Check out the following posts I made recently. Rather than repeat the information I posted there (which should answer your question), you can use the following to locate them

Date    Time  Section                  Post Title         Message #
8/5/99  12:50 Visual FoxPro in General One down all dead  250251
8/6/99  19:43 Visual FoxPro in General One down all dead  250977

The first post explains how it works, the second has code you can copy and paste to create the class. There's also a sample main program showing how to implement it.

If you have any more questions, just post back
