well i have been playing with vb6 and have written some conversions last night, but the doubles have been giving me problems. if you dont mind, when I get home tonight, would it be ok to email you a couple fo files and their layouts so that you could take a look at them directly?

Thanks
Ron


>>If at all possible, I would rather do the conversions right from VFP. It has been many years that I have done anything in basic and would just rather use VFP for this. Any other help is greatly appreciated.
