>I've been looking for a VFP function or a UDF that will allow me to determine if an object's control source refers to either a column in a cursor/table or to a memory variable. If it refers to a column I need to do a REPLACE command to update the column. If it refers to a memory variable I need to replace the value in the variable. Something like this is what I'm looking for:

Jim,
IMHO there is no simple way to check that (check code below for a try anyway:). Instead you could simply change the object.Value, no?

If !empty(object.controlsource) and ;
 fsize(justext(object.controlsource),juststem(object.controlsource)) > 0
