Hello Gene Thanks for your input. I'm using vfp9 sp1 so it is an option. What I ended up doing was putting in a password length field and use that to work it out. Like your idea of the delimit though, it would work fine. Al
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gene Wirchenko I have not been there, but you could do either of: 1) Make passwordfield a varchar column. (I do not know when varchar got added so you might not have this option.) 2) Delimit the passwordfield value as in ">"+thevalue"<" When you want to use the value, extract the value with substr(alltrim(passwordfield),2,len(alltrim(passwordfield)-2)) _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/000901ca3ef0$a427b7e0$ec7727...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
