This is great thanks a lot.

I had mentioned in my previous post that when I scan through the table builder cursor I am able to save desc. of the 1st field and not the 2nd. Well I added more fields and yet the thing works except for the 2nd field IPID, always. I have tried changing the table name. Yet got to try changing the field name IPID to something else.

Keep you posted and when there is something deliverable I can send you this copy of table builder if you like.
