Just for future reference; since this is a completely different topic (nothing to do with Dialog Boxes) you really should have started another thread.

To answer your question; assuming your talking about the field list listbox in the view designer, you'll notice at the very bottom of the list is Expression selecting this option allows you to enter any valid VFP expression. This of course would include recno().

>Yes, that works excently now.. Thanks.Another (related) question; Tastrade uses the dates it gets from its little diag box as the source for a beteween filter in the view it uses to populate the report.How would I use record numbers (RECNO()) in a filter, the view desiginer only has a pull down list in its filter tab.
