A button click event on a dialog form runs a process that moves a large text file into a
single memo field, then parses the one memo into separate memo fields in another table and adds
descriptive information to character fields on each record. Everything works as it should until I add the following lines :

x=atc(“;”,m_from)
replace all m_from with substr(m_from,x+1)
replace all m_from with alltrim(m_from)

the above lines are then repeated with change in field name for two other fields.

I have a wait window in ( running from .exe – a long story) before and after this code and both fire – but VFP is ignoring the nine lines in between ( it ignores the nine lines if the wait’s are out, also) .

The only way I can get this to run is to put a browse after each set of three lines.

Any suggestions re: cause of this behavior?
