Craig,

I have heard that and actually have it here - except - as a new VFP programmer that got even more lost when I tried to learn that and VFP at the same time, I opted to do this app the hard way with JUST VFP. Once I get better at VFP, than most definately I will be using some "tools" to make life easier.

So for this app, I need the old fashion method <grin>.


>>I have a table that is already being used in an installation. I need to modify the table structure to repair a bug and remove an unneeded field. The only way I know how to modify table structures is to use the Project Manager but that is NOT available on the clients site.
