It's just now starting to sink in what you were saying there. Though feel free still please to wade thru VFP samples code expecially FoxIS and tell me what you think. If m. prevents referencing a develper's field that may be named the same as a variable then I can see its usage and learned something today. Still, I haven't seen anything close to the frequency of usage of m. that MS uses as compared with yours or others' work
Thanks
