Jim,
In a reply after the one you referred to I said LPARMATERS should have been used instead of LOCAL. I just looked at their FoxIS code and they use m. to prefix a LOCAL variable itself. Have you looked at their code for samples? They use the m. prefix all the time w/o reference to fields. I can copy and paste as many examples from their code if you like. Perhaps along the way you can tell me if you can get the FoxIS sample to run too as a bonus.
m.PS I enjoy your work and posts. Excuse my ravings
John
