You can piece most of it together with these, also AFIELDS() is useful for capturing DB table info to generate your own report (which I did because of some problems with the commands you listed before 5 came along). I can't recall how complete AFIELDS is in vfp3, but it's very good in 5. I mentioned the SOLUTION idea since it's a nicely formatted report with no work involved...
