Hi Roger,

One interesting thing I noted. The ContextID in this context must be dependent on the version of VFP it's being used in. When I use sys(1023) on VFP7 I get the contextID you did, but when I run it under VFP6 SP5 I get a ContextID of 268435990 which discombobulated me at first cause the application I'm dealing with is a VFP6 app. I would not have thought the ContextID would be VFP version dependent.
