Hi Derek, In addition to the other suggestions, you could also use DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) to try and connect to an existing application. Earlier this year I posted some code from a FoxPro forum that could be translated into Transcript : <http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2004-January/030038.html> Unfortunately, the externals collection seems to have moved on to a better place ; perhaps you can contact the author, Tuviah Snyder, to see if you can get a copy, or even a custom version. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== Join us at the European Revolution Conference November 14-16, MALTA. ~ http://TechieTours.com/Rev/ ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."
