There is nothing built into VFP that would allow your views to inherit properties. You could write a program using dbgetprop() and dbsetprop() to copy them. Another approach would be to open the dbc as a table and copy the necessary sections from the properties field from your tables to your views. In any case make sure you backup your database container files first.


>I have several tables that have a large number of fields with the Format, InputMask and Caption properties set. I will be using parameratized local views of these tables for my form. Is there a way to have the view 'inherit' the Format, InputMask and Caption properties from the table? I don't want to have to retype them all. TIA
