<DIV><SPAN class=311591000-21092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I need
a solution that does NOT involve using record passing via an actual record/data
file. However, you did give me an idea, and that is to create environment
variables from QUICK (using RUN COMMAND "define var = 'value'") and then
interrogating the variable using GLOBAL TEMP in the QTP. Messy, but may
suffice.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
