>Thanks Lutz - I had tried all sorts of things in Valid, but nothing worked. I was unaware of return .f. - I appreciate your help!
John, VFP is one of the last VFP programs that was shipped with a real help.
On command line enter
HELP valid
there is a description of the return values.
I also like to point you to the help item
Format Input and Validate Data in a Text Box Sample, just enter the string in the index tab on VFP help. This also gives you an example via solutions.
