(I'm new to VFP). I'm trying to figure out how to select a field (ie. Cust_ID) into a variable (ie. nNext_ID), without opening a browse window. Currently, doing a command like 'select cust_id as next_id from ids' does indeed get me the information I need, but opens a browse window; therefor requiring manual input from the console to continue.

Any suggestions?
