thanks for the help Craig! All I got to say is FoxPro rocks! I don't mind using other languages, but everytime I do, I always find something that Fox does that nobody else can without putting a lot of effort into it. Maybe I am just lazy. Another feature is macro expansion. I could of used it quite a few times in this .NET app I am building. Oh well. Have a good day, because it looks like I got some work to do.
