This is very strange because VFP doesn't have an Optional keyword for parameter decalarations like VB. Try using MyData.Close() for your VB syntax. If that doesn't work, you may have to pass a logical False to the VFP function. Depending on how you coded it, it will think no parameters were passed and close all as you intended.

HTH.
