Hi Roi,
As you can see I'm a newbe. But thanks to you guys help the lights are starting to go on. Roi I think I understand what you are saying, but could you expand ? What I have are two tables, one Client the other payments.
What I am trying to do is allow the user to enter data in a form. the information is as follows: Client.groupcode in textbox1, a Payment.companyname in textbox2, a payment.startdate in textbox3 and a Payment.enddate in textbox4. If found report payment preview, if not found say "Data Condations Not Found". I feel I almost understand what you guys are saying, but the light haven't gone on yet. I feel if I had a sample of code I could take it apart and better understand it. I hope I'm not breaking any rules, by asking too long or the wroung questions but I can't afford classes and really want to learn. Going Visual is a new world to me. I have three good books that I use. Microsofts Visual Foxpro 6.0 Programs Guide,Using Visual Foxpro 6 Special Edition by Menachem and Hacker's Guide to Visual Foxpro 6.0. I guess the only thing I'm missing is VFP6.0 for dummies. If anyone can point me in the right direction, the Gods will surely smile on you.

THANKS aGAIN
John
