>>Does anybody have a function that converts a range of values into individual values? The best example, I think, is the range of pages in newer versions of MS-Word, where the user can type "1, 3-5, 7". I want this converted to a form that can easily be processed, like the string "1, 3, 4, 5, 7", or an array or cursor with the corresponding elements.

Ok, here is an algorithm:

Parse each element of the string into array laNumbers (actually char vals)
Check each laNumbers[i] if contains "-". If so, find first and last element and do inner loop

    for i=lnFirst to lnLast
        lcStr = lcStr+transform(m.i)+", "
    next
