After I entered that last message I found a little more information. It is the Marker1 and Marker2, they are the lengths of the System and City in the file. TYPE FD FromMarker1 AS STRING * 1 'this is the length of FromSystem (30) FromSystem AS STRING * 30 FromMarker2 AS STRING * 1 ' this is the length of FromCity (40) FromCity AS STRING * 40 FromZone AS INTEGER FromNet AS INTEGER FromNode AS INTEGER FromPoint AS INTEGER FromIDontKnow1 AS INTEGER FromIDontKnow2 AS INTEGER ToMarker1 AS STRING * 1 ' this is the length of ToSystem (30) ToSystem AS STRING * 30 ToMarker2 AS STRING * 1 ' this is the length of ToCity (40) ToCity AS STRING * 40 ToZone AS INTEGER ToNet AS INTEGER ToNode AS INTEGER ToPoint AS INTEGER ToIDontKnow1 AS INTEGER ToIDontKnow2 AS INTEGER RestIHaveNoIdea AS STRING * 84 END TYPE I'm not sure on the whole thing works with FD. But it works for me if I just set them to 30 and 40. Like LC.FromSystem = CHR$(30) and LC.FromCity = CHR$(40). --- Squish v1.01 # Origin: UBU-Midwest - Bensenville IL - 708-766-1089 (8:7401/13) * Origin: FamilyNet Intl.
