>>Really Michel, if you get any funtion that you did in Visual Basic and put this Funtion (with the VB commands) in your Visual Foxpro program this will work with any problem.

Terry,
Actually, in the above, Left("123456", 2) will work in VB, VBA, and VBScript as well as VFP. VB dropped the data type indicators in the function names sometime ago. A number of function (and command structures) are then same in all these languages. One of the reasons being that the original syntax for < shudder > xBase languages was partially based on BASIC.
