Hey Nick,

I will send you the sample first thing in the morning. I want to review it first and make sure it's nice and clean so you don't get any extemperaneous garbage.

Good question. I don't why I do COPY TO ARRAY. Maybe I should change to your way. It might get me around my record/table locking problem.

I too am a self-taught VFPer. I have been learning the hard way for 2 years and still don't always get IT. But at least I am getting paid while I learn. Thanks.
