>>>Hi All:
>>>
>>>Where can I find documented the order that VFP uses to execute modules of the same name. e.g. If I have a program called FOOPROC.PRG which contains a procedure called FOO and I also have a program called FOO.PRG, If there I SET PROCEDURE TO fooproc I issue a DO FOO, which one does VFP execute?

SBT! You have my sympathy. What a misbegotten pile of dung that was.

Many moons ago I did some work for Karen Higgins, who some will remember from the Compuserve FoxForum. She started a company that offered an accounting add-on for SBT, and did very well with it. Karen was great to work with but I couldn't stay with SBT software long. She said she had another guy, a former Microsoftie, who told her, "I'll do anything for you, Karen, just not SBT." ;-)
