Not sure what did it, but I'm getting a new error, an OPEN problem, so I'll work on tracking that down.
Thanks for the suggestions; I'll also try and figure out which one made the difference. (It was not having to use a null-terminated string, however; that is just one of the ways to pass the parmt to BPXWDYN).
