>The code your sent works ok for me - in both cases I have only ShowMessage1 messagebox. NT SP6, VFP 6.0 SP3. How to run it? Maybe it is depended on the default VFP settings, like SET ANSI or SET EXACT?

There is certainly a setting somewhere. I have that on my workstation and on the server. My workstation is WinME and the server is Win2k. I'll check the settings...
