No prob. A privilege to contribute. Since moving from (mostly) VFP to (mostly) VS.NET I don't get to conribute as much as I did some time back. Don't spend much time with VFP any more and don't feel to "guruish" in C# at this point ( maybe never will be ). :-)

Bonnie and Magnus found something in BOL to indicate that it can (though the test proc they created shows otherwise), and I found something in BOL that doesn't mention it. Usually everybody winds up walking away with something they previously didn't know! ;) So thanks...
