Hi Marty,

Well, I guess, it's my only chance. I still didn't see a reason for this error.

>>>As I said, use .F. instead of "" (Logical type .F., not a character string). In VFP all omitted parameters of procedure checked using !(vartype("something") == "L"). If it is logical and .F., probably it is omitted when procedure called. So .F. should work in your case when the application expects omitted parameters. "" - is not omitted parameter and might have significant value for the application/procedure you call.
