>You should really check out Edward's suggestion. It works, and is the simplest solution I have seen. Foxpro advisor did an article on this, and their code took up two pages to do the same thing. Lisa Slater Nicholls also has a method, but IMO, it is too strange to easily adapt to an everyday framework.

Thanks, I am working on his suggestion now and almost have it doing what I want.
