   Well, that seems to work.  Main differences was that I didn't include the   
   records file, I just included the RecUser type and things that I thought were   
   needed.  Clearly, I missed some of the required stuff.  Just because I want to,   
   I am going to hunt down what I missed, because I think that's what's going on   
   with my C# program.   
      
   Thanks again!
