Garrett,

Point well taken. :)

And actually it looks like the quality might bring this issue to an end after all. I submitted this bug via MS online support and got contacted by someone to send some sample data over their way. He mentioned something about it being a bug that has now resurfaced in VFP8, but we'll see. I'm hoping that they can come out with something quickly to address the problem since we can't very well upgrade our app until then.

Laterness,
Jon
