Neil,

You should continue discussions in the other thread you started rather than starting a whole new thread on the same subject.

Why are you wanting to use memvars for your controls instead of using the table columns?

>I have a little problem understanding procedures and functions. I have a procedure called basedarti stored in a Program named findart. In my procedure I have 5 memory variables where I store information into them. Here is my code:

>PROCEDURE basearti()
>	STORE "F*0001" TO cArtikey
>	STORE "ZOOM" TO cSupplier
>        STORE "YES" TO cNewsupplier
>ENDPROC

>What I would like to do is when my form is initialised I would like to show the value of cArtikey in text1 field.........cSupplier in text2 field etc.
