>Thanks for the information. I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I wanted to put you on the spot here (you against Dave). That was not my intention.
No problem. I just didn't want it to appear that I was putting myself up against Dave. Its just that I knew that you had run this by Dave and I just wanted to expressly state my view as to how I would approach this problem and my reasons why. As you know, in VFP and Codemine, there are many ways to achieve similar results and not one way needs to be thought of as any better than another. Sometimes, one way is more preferable than another, depending on the circumstances.
But, thanks for explaining - it is appreciated.
