That makes a lot of sense guys about not being able to talk to the form before it is created. I will try your method.

I remember you Jim from the Fox Forum on Compuserve back in 1992 & 1993 when I first started messing with this FoxPro. I have a couple of books also with your name in it. I can't thank you enough for all your help and wisdom. I have truly grown with the help i recieve from you guys out there in cyber space. Looking forward to meeting you some day.
