Hello Liz:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for information about the jkey. I does some programming in Foxbase+, but have never done any programming in FoxPro 2.5 or 2.6. I am an Clipper 87 programmer who is trying to learn VFP. I really love it. I am also fond of VB 4.0.
Your explanation was very good and believe it or not I understood what you said and now I know about the "jkey".

Thanks again,
Karl
