Bonnie,

Thanks for the info, you've been a great help. In the VFP forum, I used to (try to) answer questions much more than asking them. The shoe's on the other foot now. :)

Expert C# Business Objects by Rockford Lhotka is on the way, along with another book on Application Frameworks in .NET, will hopefully arrive today. Hopefully that will get me along quicker. Or, things might get blurry for a little while...
