As I wrote I would not use @ GET. Or ACCEPT or INPUTBOX This is outdated. I started with VFP after this was outdated 25 years ago. So I have no clue about this. And I strongly like to discourage you using this.
I never ever used @ to output something to the screen - I would create a label object on the position and change it's caption. Much more simple to position and refresh.
I can help you with the object based approach I showed you, else I have no idea.
