Ken I have tried what you suggested, but I keep getting an Invalid Subscript Reference error, which I am getting almost all the time I write a piece of code. What does it realy mean? The way I understand it, it means that I am referencing an object which does not exist or I am referencing an object property that does not exist. I have to admit that I am new to VdB and that most of my experience lies with Java Applets, HTML, VB 4.0, GWBasic etc. where I had to write either applets/ Webpages or Programs for Civil Engineering Calculations. Now I have been given the task to write a program that extracts data from Impact, summarize it and store it as the data is purged after three years from Impact. In the program I have to monitor the government tenders and the exchange rates, calculate price adjustments and then print relevant claim forms. In addition to this I have to supply a statistics with regard to customers, product movements, determin seasonal behaviour of customers and generate a life budget from the available data. I still have a long way to go, in a very short time to be honest. I decided on VdB ver 7 in January 98, bought it and now I have problems due to the shortage of available documentation. My friends, all avid FoxPro Fans are laughing at me for choosing VdB and I intend to show them that I have made a good choice when I chose VdB 7.0.
