Imar, Thanks for your "help". I took another look at the problem and took the error message at face value. It was null values in the mfg table for the e-mail contact.

I filled them in with a default value and the application worked great.

I'm new to the VB-Object world. I've been using NT from the alpha 3.1 release and was teaching SQL Server as far back as on OS2 (pre-NT).

I can't count the number of times I've given the advice that would have solved my problem right away.

Thanks,

LT
