Cindy,

Yes, the forward slashes were typos. I am using
backslashes. The switches do work, but certain changes to
the table auto-format styles, although saved, are not
applied to the DATABASE field in question.

All other fomatting changes get saved. It must be a Citrix
imponderable.

Thanks for the help,

Michael
