Thanks Tony.
I guess I read more into it than what is stated since a string in C is an array, just not an "ALF" array. Still, it boggles my mind that strFormat will not take a string as one of the arguments. It is really sloppy to have to concatenate strings with strFormatted numbers to produce a whole string when StrFormat could have accomplished that so easily. I will go back to what works, as cumbersome as that may be.
