Hi Ken

>You may want to try using GenScrnX to do this, see http://www.stevenblack.com/SBCPublicDomain.asp. You have access to the SCX table before it goes to GenScrn.prg in that program, plus you can modify the SPR output there as well - all without changing GenScrn.prg. There are no comments in GenScrnX, but I've always maintained that it is a self-documenting FoxPro program. :)

Okay, thanks a lot for the link. I will check out the self-documented program <g>.

But GenScrn or GenScrnX way apart what would your advise be if I somehow got the #NAME directives into the screen files snippets with SYS() generated names will it have adverse effects?
