>Of course you can have pointers in a structure, it's just a little more work, because you have to allocate memory yourself. To make this easier a long time ago I wrote a class that implements the struct type of C.

I also have a Pointers ActiveX control (downloadable from the UT's file section)that will "give" pointers to VFP. I just wanted to say that you cannot build the whole structure using only VFP if the structure contains pointers.

Yes, but this structure doesn't include pointers. Or wasn't it an example for this case?
