No, thats OK. I only kept the vfp6 version because it was easier than trying to uninstall it. But a couple of weeks ago I did a total machine rebuild and reinstalled everything from scratch and I decided there was no point in reinstalling 6, given 8. I didn't anticipate upgrade probs.

ah. I was trying "RECOMPILE"! No wonder it failed!

hmmm. They were also reserved words in 6. Are you saying that 8 has stricter enforcement? Not that its a huge problem to fix, given the Code reference tool...

I thought "ox memo" was a typo till I saw you used it twice. This is another new one on me. Qu'est que c'est? Does it answer the obvious problem with scatter/gather - the duplication?

Learning a lot.

Thanks
