Hi, Mike, Leroy... work's for me too! Somehow, Leroy, that Lparameter is NOT getting the passed value assigned to it.
(Could it be that the command you have is "LPara meter" (with a space!) LPara is a legitimate abbreviation for the command,
and then "meter" would be seen as the first parameter, then lcTable would be the SECOND parameter and would indeed be .F.
Okay. I know. I'm grasping at straws here!)
