Hiya JohnK,

First, txtLastName works, but what about txtQuantity? Is that text in a textbox or is that a number???

Also, what about THISFORM.MainPageFrame.ClientPage.LastName.Value???

Seems equally informative and, I contend, more readable (for instance, PagClientPage has redundancy which *can* irritate).

Cheers (and how did you like Vancouver?),

What about object naming conventions? You left those out and those are even more critical to the contemporary VFP application. What tells you more in code:
