>Yeah, I can do this, but this is not for a program, but for my own use when programming. I often have to remind myself what is in certain fields and what those field names are, and just issuing a BROW in the command window is the fastest way to do this. I think disabling VFP's behavior of using the captions in the browse would be a nice option.

Actually we use this in development all the time. There are many times when I need exactly what you are desribing in the above paragraph. I didn't know there was another way to do this. Although I agree, there should be an easier way.
