Not "against my rules"; this was simply a suggestion. And this suggestion doesn't seem to apply to your case: actual working code. I agree completely: it isn't worth the trouble to rewrite it.

My suggestion would apply, rather, to any case where a quick solution is offered for VFP6, and someone complains "But I use VFP5!". Or earlier.

>>Instead of posting or using two different versions of a program, one with, one without, FileToStr() or StrToFile(), I suggest to always use FileToStr() and StrToFile(), even in older versions of VFP. These functions are so extremely handy that it is worthwhile to define them as UDFs in older versions - in fact, I wonder why I didn't create something similar before the advent of VFP6!
