Or use Clipper -- they drove all their developers to FoxPro by forcing a pseudo-C syntax on them with Clipper-5x. Personally, I find the 2nd line MUCH easier to understand, and its consistent with any other mathematical or concatenation formula.

>>>Thanks for your comment. I wasn't thinking of it as forcing 'C' type coding. I coded in C many years ago and do NOT miss it! VFP is a much better language and environment in my humble opinion. It's just a short cut I like, just like the ! instead of NOT in a conditional. It was just a thought.

>LOL, I didn't read it as a flame or take it personally, no worries. One of the things I really liked about Fox when I made the switch over 8 years ago was the rich nature of the language, so many ways to do things. It's still an attribute I cherish. The whole purpose of the forum is to voice opinions, I'm glad you voiced yours.

Thanx for taking it in the spirit intended, not the necessarily the one that came across...
