UDTs (structures) are not supported in VFP, but you can emulate them if you know how each field type is represented internally in the structure. Download Christof Lange's Structure class from the files section. It contains a Word document that tells you how to translate types, and comes with a great class that lets you define the fields in a structure, and creates the string for you.
