>Just an old gripe I have with VFP. There have been several instances where it would have been nice. For example, given a text box requiring and account number, you could place a button next it that brings up a browse of accounts to pick from. It would be nice to hit that button and not have to deal with valid for the textbox. We've pretty much worked around it or dealt with it "properly" where we needed it, but since day one with visual foxpro I have been bothered by the fact that events exist in a vacuum with no reference of where they came from or where they are going.
