Especially since I'm new to VFP, I'm figuring if something doesnt work right it might take me awhile to figure out if its a problem with my code vs. problem with the Socket Tool. But I was real specific in the e-mail I sent vendor as to this after purchase support issue. I'll let you know what I find out.

I'd appreciate it, Rox. I wasn't too thrilled with what I had to go through to get a response out of Crescent.
