CONSTRUCT was enhanced in 4.1x. :-) Also stored procedures and triggers are an engine feature, being introduced in 5.00 and 5.01 respectivly. Triggers will therefore work regardless of your 4GL version. Procedures can be called from 4.1x 4GL by PREPAREing the statement first and DECLAREing a cursor to return any results to 4GL. But of course if your talking about upgrading 4GL 4.0x and engine 4.xx, then I know exactly what you mean. ;-) Cheers, -- Mark. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Mark D.
