Well, actually it would be WSCRIPT.EXE because I'd be calling it via ShellExecute. My friend, the late, great, Dr. Ed Rauh beat me over the head with the possibilties of the WSH so many times I picked up a copy of the Esposito book from Wrox. So much so that he and I wrote a series of articles for VFUG.

>Do think about expanding this approach to have your VBScript call a VFP mid-tier component, however, if you run into scaleability or perf issues, since a single call from the script into the VFP component will be faster than the ADO statements.

I would've gone with that but I was trying to avoid having to make an install. IOW, this was intended to be "quick and dirty".:-)

>Good luck, George...

Thanks Lisa,
