Chuck, From the docs on Get Pointer:
"The Get pointer command returns a pointer to the process or interprocess variable whose name you pass in varName."

I am not sure as to why. Any insight would be appreciated, as I know you can pass a pointer to local (i.e. $) array form method 1 to method 2 and that works. I would guess I could write a method but that seems kind of a worth around Thanks and regards Chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 Informed Solutions, Inc.
