In other words, I can create a compound string from a string, but I can't take a compound string and un-do it to get the string it was made from. I've tried using DwtInitGetSegment and DwtGetNextSegment but to no avail. I must be doing it wrong, but I don't think so... Can anyone out there help???? A small sample of code that works would be of great help. Thanks!!!! -franco ################################### ### ######### ##################### # Frank A.
