Thanks BOb. I think the TreeView will do, and I will know tomorrow for sure.
I'll keep the DBI stuff in mind too.

DBI is one of the few vendors of ActiveX controls that has VFP samples and will help a vfp programmer. I have also used the DBI ListView and MeterBar that come with the tool box with great results.

Since I didn't see mention of checkbox in those articles I looked for other things.
