Yea, that was it, glad to help.

>>In other words you are asking Is THISFORM.lAccessed3 = .T.?, so when evaluated it tells you if it is or of it isn't, try this:

>>&m

>>>Actually, this is what I'm trying to do.
>>>
>>>m = ALLTRIM('lAccessed' + '3')
>>>*need to do this becuase the '3' changes depending on what the form number it's executed from (in this case it's form #3).
>>>
>>>m = 'THISFORM.' + m + ' = .T.'
>>>
>>>?m .... && shows THISFORM.lAccessed3 = .T.
>>>
>>>EVALUATE('m') does not change the lAccess3 to .T.
>>>
>>>What am I missing? It works for procedures and functions;
>>>i.e. if m equaled THISFORM.DoChanges(3).
