Jeff,

Let me try.

When you write code to an object on a form, you link it to one of the
events, in fact this code will be executed before the 'default'
procedure of this event. If you issue NODEFAULT in your snippet, you
really tell VFP not to execute this default procedure.

For example if you write nodefault in the KEYPRESS event, the character
will not be echoed to the screen.

HTH,

Marc
