Yes I know the owner (Dave Murphy) and the website webmaster (Doug) and Dave's little know silent partner Jim.
The question is why can you not log on. Tek-tips does not prevent members from login on, but block people from login on. Send me an e-mail ar mikegagnon[at]mcrgsoftware.com

> Ilya,
> My guess about the 65,000 limit has something to do with the interactibility with Excel. It has a row limit of 65,000+ records when copying to a xls in VFP 8.0. Not sure about limits in other versions, except 5.0, which only copies to xl5 format with a limit of 16,383 records. VFP 8.0 actually copies the table out to a later Excel format which will accept the 65,000+ record structure.
