>>I have a form that I would like to open either with or without parameters. Some forms call this form with a specific record in mind, from other forms, the form should open and go to a default record. The problem is, if I have issued a lparameters statement, and there were no parameters passed the seek attempts to seek on an .F. and crashes. My question is, is there a way to set a default value for a variable? When I try "If myvar = .F. then myvar = 1 endif" it fails because myvar has already been assigned a boolean datatype by default. How can I work around this?

You could also use the Parameters() Fn. Returns the number parameters you were passed. Only more usefull than checking TYPE("") if you're expecting a logical parameter.

ps Do remember the quotes in the TYPE() function they are incredibly important.
