Hi Alan! :-)

 LL>>    Problem:    Using the code written below, when a users name
 LL>> is written to
 LL>> the disk file, the name element isn't cleared so that parts of
 LL>> other names show up.  

 AC> 36 characters in the name array.  You could perhaps write space
 AC> characters to the mtag2.name array before copying the name to
 AC> it.

       I tried that but found out from others that I was suposed to use
memcpy() rather than strcpy(). Works like a charm now!   Thanks
for the response and will TTYL...........:-)
