The only way to pass information to structures from VFP is real tricky and only halfway works. Use a string with the right size allocated for the structure and put that information into it, or use an array. Being as useless as I am, please don't ask me for an example since I can't seem to find one now. I usually get frustrated with crashes and just write an FLL that will accept parameters and pass the information to the function in the structure it expects. -= Ken =-
