Jim,

When I try the CType conversion I get the following error in my Task list:

Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'.

I know it can be done. I've seen sample Northwind applications that have
done it but that was a long time ago and I never needed to know. Now I
don't remember what those applications were.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again,

King
