Hi Virusim,

Use the & instead of EVAL. Moreover, you might find something on the downloads of the UT.

>Hi,
> Since migrating from xBase to vfp 3 & 5, all the old xBase utilities use to do quick and dirty change to DBF file cannot be use anymore. Therefore, I like to create a similar application using vfp3 or 5 which can function like command window in vfp. I had tried using the EVAL under a textbox, but it failed. Any good shareware stuff to do that, however, I prefer to create one myself. Any suggestion or advise on how to go about creating it. Thank you
