Jim,

Your problem could be due to a number of things. As far as public variables go, it's generally a good idea to use custom properties instead. I only use one public variable - that of the application object.

I know that much of this is quite different from FoxPro 2.x. Some of this stuff takes awhile to grasp, but it's worth it.

If you are using VFP 6.0, study the FFC (foundation classes). Also, get a few books, learn all you can from the UT, and dive-in. There is much to learn no matter how much you know.


>My programs are working great, but after awhile of heavy adding and editing records, the program starts generating "datatype mismatch" or similar type messages that make me think that the public variables I setup in the beginning program, are no longer found. You can click on "ignore" and most times it will continue and work fine. If you exit the program and start it up again, all is well for awhile...
