I was going to say the same thing. The only additional point to mention is that unless delimiters " " is set in the screen form, you will see the field on the screen. Users might wonder about that. Also, (and most importantly) hopefully you have room for the extra three spaces required. This might sound trivial, but it has happened to me. Tim --- ~ SPEED 1.40 [NR] ~
