Hello J Chris Powell (or just Chris?) :)

I wrote the message I did about OLE Automation as a solution because of the posters comment:

"However i'd like to find another way.

Thanks by your response!"

... in response to a message posted by Larry. It just seemed to me as though the upgrade was not an option and he wanted another way.

Correct, I have not reviewed Koziols work, but as stated above, I was just giving the poster an alternative solution, as he requested. Also, I DO have VFP6 SP3. Did you confuse me with the original poster?
