Della,
Well, I did get the numeric constant eventually. I don't remember whether it was with the object browser (Excel). I just meant to say that this part is a little more tricky, or more detailed work, than the rest of the conversion.
The comments about the .h files look very interesting. Thank you.
Hilmar.

www.west-wind.com. It finds all the constants, and creates a loooooong VFP .h file. You'll want to keep this file on your disk somewhere, but the one you actually attach should be a short version using only the groups of constants you need, unless you like your source code to take very long to save and compile.
