Bill, Might I suggest that M be renamed to something a little more meaningful? Oh, and a flogging for the person who named it M to begin with? ;^) Actually, when I find these format variables, I replace them with the format literal. I know, it might make it a little harder to expand its width in the future, but it is far easier to understand, and if you did have to expand it, you'd have to go looking at all the Ms anyway, just to make sure that M hadn't been used to format something else that you didn't want to expand.

Yes... M is a variable... as in... M = "R,#9" Thanks to those who responded. --Bill From: Brutzman, Bill [snip] crt @(31,19) : Qty.Rcvd M [snip] I am writing to inquire about the meaning of "M".
