Is it possible you overflowed column 72 in fixed format?

[J McNamara]

It definitely was. I thought I checked that once. I went through and made the corrections but i can't check out the compiler right now as I am running on no time with other priorities. But i did sneak in there and fix the spaces. i will use try to use Simon's error checking method in the future too.

I can't wait to see the outcome of this I am kind of excited to work on this and see the 2 working together cobjapi and a db with gixsql. I already modified a dialog to have more controls on it that i want to link to DB before I mixed the 2.

THANKS,
jim
