Bernard,
I struggled with inkey() in vfp 5. Finally, I replaced all my inkey()s to the following function:
func MYINKEY priv tul, verror
* VFP 5.0 bug: if next line commented out, the following error * occurs sometimes and inkey() statement is not executed: * function argument, value, type or count is invalid * in fpw 2.5 it works. havent tried this in vfp 6 verror =on('error') on error NOTE tul = inkey() on error &verror if type('m.tul')!='N' return .f. endif return m.tul == 27
