Hi Gabe I see you posted to comp.databases.pick as well and that you got a rather rude reply from tronic - he is a known poster on there who is somewhat deranged so don't take offence. Many posters on there filter out replies from tronic or his other guises.
Welcome to MV I am sure you will find most of us very helpful.

Done. Thanks much. I'm new here, I am the IT person for an automotive company with custom software built on UniVerse and with my employer and our software developer's blessing am learning PICK. I must say I'm having a lot of fun with this--an incredible tool that no one's heard of, but very powerful.... Well, thanks for your help and I'll be hanging around these lists...
