Hi Wayne.

>I've noticed that within a .vcx there are several 'Reserved' columns of memo type. Within the 'Reserved3' column there are a list of propery & method names. Some of the properties are preceded by a '^'. This seems to control what happens to the property at design time. What does this mean? Is there any detailed documentation on the .vcx structure?

This is from VFP 6.0 help on the subject:

The descriptions of the table structures are stored in files located in the FILESPEC directory. The FILESPEC directory contains two projects: 60SPEC.pjx and 26SPEC.pjx. 60SPEC.pjx contains tables and reports that document Visual FoxPro version 6.0 and 5.0 table files. 26SPEC.pjx contains tables and reports that document FoxPro version 2.6 table files.

To see the descriptions for any table structure, print the appropriate report.

To see the table structure of a Form and Visual Class Library print 60SCX1.frx
and 60SCX2.frx which uses the table 60SCX.dbf
