>What is the function that returns the column/field count of an alias?

Jay -- I've found Google to be an excellent resource for questions like this. Now I hardly ever crack open the foxpro help (which may or may not give the answer) -- in this case I would just type:

number of fields in foxpro table

into Google search. In this case, result number 3 would give you the answer.

I use google to puzzle through office automation, esoteric Foxpro bugs and just about any programming question I can think of. Faster than waiting for an answer on UT...
