Eric,

Thanks for your help. Do textbuttons have the same problem? I am planning to make an .exe and distribute the application. It will be in the same directory on the user's PC. If I make an .exe with textbuttons for the user must I make a directory on the user's PC similar to my PC for the code of the command buttons or will VFP take care of it during the compiling of the project into an application

Petrus.
