Hi Nancy

Thank you very much for comming back. I am very new to FoxPro and I think I am missing a very basic step from your code. I put the top part of your code into search button code and nothing happens. I don't know how to connect the class to the seach button. In clipper (DOS) I would write a code like this when sitting on the brows screen :
Local cCODE
cCODE=SPACE(10)
use names
set index to code,name
@6,10 clear to 10,50 //Clear the screen from and to
@6,10 TO 10,50 //Make a box around
@8,20 say "Enter first few characters of code to search "GET cCODE
READ
SEEK TRIM(cCODE)
RETURN

What I thought was when a user is looking at brows screen, which is on page one of two pages, could click the search button to get a popup little screen where he/she could type in the code to search. I hope I am making sense !!!

Sorry to sound so dumb, but I realy need help in this area. The next thing is the report. I need a window again to ask the user to put the report starting and ending date to create a reprot from. If you have time could you email me an example of how to go about it. Appreciate your help.
My email is khan@khan.co.nz
