This, apparently, is not my day. . . After visiting the MSKB, I, too, found the CursorSource property, and was playing with it at the time my speakers told me you answered my response.

Now I get an error that says:

Error Instantiating Cursor Object. Cannot find c:\ccmhprog\. (Locate, Ignore, etc.)

What the heck? Oh, well. At least it's something different. I'll play around with it while I stay online. I'll let you know if I find anything.
