Hi Nancy and Mike,


Thanks for your help.

This is the situation. I am writing an automatic FPD TO VFP migrator program (which is coming along nicely, actually). There are some screens such as login, selecting a company, and setting the date of processing (ocassionally the error screen too), which are called during the startup, but also if the user chooses to change company or the date of procesing.

I would like to make my base form class issue a read events, or to set the form to modal, or whatever, depending on whether read events is in effect or not. Since no function seems to indicate this I will have to resort to a global variable, which I'd rather not.

In any case, assuming that read events has not been issued, where in the form class should I do what to set it and unset it.

Thanks for your help.

Alex
