    Thanks for the info dbwiz... You're right the array does fill up properly when I use PRECISION, though it does look like a bit of added work is necessary to get the data in the right format. I take it theres no way around this then?

    BTW Anonymous Monk, I couldn't get LENGTH to work at all, the program just falls over saying 'unrecognised attribute'.
