was written in FP 2.6 but you should have no problem adapting it.

Assuming oTable.inv is a character field, otherwise make it a STR(inv) in the

Maybe it can be done different in VFP 5.0 because there are extensions I've
not played with. This one will work in all versions >= 2.5

If this Echo does indeed disappear, I hope to find you on the Internet.
If you are already there, here are a couple of downloads worth having:
FOXSQZ - squeezes your files down to manageable size for archiving.
ZEPHYR - Run reports, generate labels, or crank out form letters with this
         FoxPro app.
FORGOT IT - Sticky notes for your computer.
DATABASE BROWSER PLUS - no matter what application you're currently using,
        you can search database files with this one.
DATAIMPORT - translate text-based data from almost any source into nearly 40
        database formats.
ZIPFOLDERS 2.01 - Zipe files that act like folders.  Work with the files
hile
        they're still in the ZIP format!
Got more if anyone is interested.

If it dissappears I will be sad, but I am working (as I am sure you are) at
making sure that does NOT happen.  I have requests working their way up the
food chain to get this fixed.  If nothing else, I will register with me as
moderator and then we WILL have an election to select a moderator(s).  This
is assuming that anybody has a problem with you and me sharing said duties
(primarily from the way this echo usually is just making sure it stays listed
and that the traffic stays up).
I have used (and we have here at work registered) foxsqz, but switched to
dynazip because its lets platform specific and is industry compatible zip
format.
