Ok, I didn't know that. I had SP3 installed when I started playing with ADSI, so I never saw it 'broken'.

The article still shows some good stuff, but the VB part should be revised to use VFP directly. BTW, I had posted a message on your board quite a while back pointing this out, and don't think I got a response.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification...
