Thank you. For the other part (WorNum()), I would have to use at() (twice) and substr(), I think.

Actually, I thought there was a built-in function. I think there is one in FoxTools (I also have similar functions in the framework I am using, Visual Extend), but for a small stand-alone program I am building, I prefer to write my own small function.

Regards, Hilmar.
