Thanks for your help-- I am still progressing thru this exercise.
I issue appen blank have the user fillin his name and he clicks on 'OK' but I am confused about using the =CURSORSETPROP("Buffering", 2)
= TABLEUPDATE(.T.) and can't get that to work. I want to force the user to enter his name before the app proceeds.
