Tracy,

When converting from FPD or FPW, I think it's a better choice to do what's referred to as a "deep port". This means changing some of the original code to a more object oriented way of doing things. It takes more time, but in the long run, it's well worth it.

BTW, I'd have used a select on the sub-string into an array.
