>>Hi,
>>
>>On a typical form of my VFP 9 application, at design time, I drop various textboxs (this is simplified). The class of the "textbox" has a method .Validate(). This method has to check if the value in the field has been changed. I can easily get the current value in the text box. But I also need to find the OLDVAL() in this textbox. To do so, I would need the alias name of the CA (Cursor Adapter) for this particular form.
>>Could you suggest a generic way to get the alias name of the CA, on any form, for a textbox?

>>TIA

>UPDATE: When I started looking at what has to be done, I found that the "textbox" already has the information I am looking for. All set.

Don't worry, we have all been there. Sometimes one doesn't see the forest for the trees. :-)
