I am new to OOP for VFP 5.0, all of my programming experience has been in top-down method. My problem is I would like to use the seek command to search on a very large database. But the default one with the wizard uses locate and filter, very slow :-(. The scenario is this, the user hardly ever knows the customer ID so they must search on a combination of lastname and zipcode which would then give them a browse box so they could determine if the customer exists, if it does they would want to select it and return the main form with that customer in edit mode. If the customer does not exist they want to be able to return to the main form in add mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated and maybe if any of you do consulting you would also let me know, Please email me directly if possible. Thanks for your time. ================================================================== Wayne Jordan wjordan@pcl.net President PC Land, Inc. http://www.pcl.net "Making Computers Work for You" (205) 546-8949 Office (205) 546-8940 Fax ==================================================================
