Thanks Andy, I had tried your code before and thought you had gotten stuck pretty much as I have. I have now spend some time at the W3schools site and developed a test file that does in the html code what I am trying to do in VFP. I concluded that I must have the syntax wrong in my VFP code. I tried everything I could think of without success so I posted it to the list hoping someone can get me moving forward again.
