I would proceed with caution here. It seems as if you have not even reviewed Koziols work, since you do not have VFP6 SP3. To write it off, seems to say that you can write a better frx2word than Koziol, and can do it for under the VFP upgrade price. At least, before heading off on your own, go ahead and upgrade so that you can review the option. If I've misssed something here, sorry. hth
