>Speaking of vcx's, those are classes right? I was thinking of getting into these but don't know where to start or what a class is and can do? Can you offer me a word or two on the subject? Thanks!

Actually vcx's are class libararies that store classes. And classes are a must if you do OOP. In VFP you should subclass the base classes of everything and then subclass those for each application for a start. Read Arnon's article on OOP in the VFUG newsletter section.
