Actually, I tried that. What's strange is that on my system (NT 
Server) works fine, and it works on my laptop (WIN95). My Win98 
machine is down, which is what my client is using.  This method 
does not work on their machine (exception error).

There is one hint that maybe one of you might have some insight 
to. The APP is driven by 3 APX files that I send to the client via 
pcAnywhere.  What's odd is that the APX that contains this routine 
won't allow itself to be overwritten during the file transfer. I may 
delete the file on the customer side, and send it separately, w/o 
problem. I tried this 3 times with the same results, so I think the 
computer is suspect, but it passes scandisk OK.

Thanks,

Ben Petersen
