I don't want to comment on famous VFP expert example, but in VFP filter will give you more troubles than help. You should use SELECT-SQL or SEEK, so whatever I said in previous reply still applicable. Just one note: when you generate 'filter' (actually WHERE clause of SELECT) apply ALLTRIMs on all character entries.

>Thanks for telling me about the command button color. I wondered why there was not a BackColor for command buttons. That would be a nice property for a command button to have.

Again, it's impossible because it's Windows setting (at least some VFP control can be truly Win control :).
