Tore,

I had hoped that the general tone in my message would be perceived as what it was intended to be: a bit of horsing around.

I now realize that I should have put it under Chatter, but that seemed a bit much.

I'm truly sorry if I in any way offended you, that was not my intention.

Incidentally, I quite agree with your sentiment about using undocumented features.

BR

Peter

>>>DoCreate is a function which is used internally by VFP, you should normally ignore it completely, since you can actually make VFP behave "strange" by using it. There is a reason why this function is not mentioned in the "normal" docs.
