I'm sorry, I should have read your post closer. I missed the part about showing....

>Well, as I tried to indicate in my post, I'm trying to tell the Goldmine program to show the record .. not the VFP program. The gm5s32.dll is for low level data access. I don't hae a problem using low level data-access. After finding the record, though, I need DDE to command Goldmine to show that contact - do I not?
