Nancy,
Well I keep getting more and more comfortable with them.. I don't have anything in VFP apps relative to "old Xbase procedural code" ie SET RELATION, FILTER, KEY, etc.
I still have an occasional SET ORDER and SCAN loops but that's about it.
>I sure do agree about filters and grids. Better (faster) than SET FILTER is using SET KEY instead. (How did I ever get along without it? :-) Whether SET KEY is *better* or *worse* than parameterized views, well, IMO that depends on how comfortable you are with PVs.
