I use CREATE CURSOR and explicitly define fields. I've had the exact same thing happen before, but I had only made one change and knew where to look. In that case I tried to take the STRING of a Character variable about 200 lines below the CREATE CURSOR statement. Of course I first spent about an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my CREATE CURSOR statement! I can get around this by remming out the entire statement, but oddly enough I cannot skip over it in the debugger. Thanks for your help.

>>I am not used to the VFP6 debugger, and I never used VFP5's debugger so maybe I'm just missing something. I have a .PRG that I made some changes to and now generates a 'Function argument value,type or count is invalid message'. In VFP3 this was no problem, I would choose suspend and the offending line of code would appear. In VFP6 the debugger takes me to my CREATE CURSOR statement where I know there is no problem. I even tried stepping through line by line. When it hits the CREATE CURSOR statement, it stops advancing on the screen. If I step through another 100 times or so I eventually get the error message, although the debugger is still showing me the CREATE CURSOR statement. Is this normal? Am I just missing something with PRGs? Please help, and thank you for your time.
