Sylvain & Ed -

Thanks for your input! I will discard my function imediately =)

You know what they say - "Use the right tools to simplify the job." - It's amazing how true, as your solution simplifies things greatly. Now I just need to learn what other tools are out there that I should be using!

Thanks again!

>>When I started with my first FoxPro project last year, I ran into the problem of SQL Server not liking strings with apostrophies. I didn't know how to deal with it, so I told the users of my application just not to use apostrophies anywhere (there are only about 10 of them ;-)
