I do need to clarify my last statement. Yes, we can use a string, but we have nothing else equivalent, and it would be much easier to deal with a real structure rather than having to simualte it.

Right! Just to clarify, for anyone listening in on this thread.... this is not really a show-stopper. As several of us have mentioned in this and other threads, there are other approaches that work. But as with all work-arounds, it would be nice if they weren't necessary! Still, this certainly does not even make my top five VFP-wish list items at this point.

I don't want anyone reading these posts to go away with the mistaken impression that VFP cannot handle any API calls requiring structures. It's just a bit trickier than many of us wish it was.
