Thanks all:

I was getting frustrated but I am actually rocking along. about 40% done on my project. I see where VFP has many advantages.

I am sticking with the basic VFP no frameworks yet until I understand it. I find that the best way is to do a project, get stuck, reread the books, ask questions, and then write down everything I did.

I guess it was like access which took me about a year to work on blindfolded.

Anyway appreciate the help, This board is great and its people who share that make the world a better place.
