Barbra.....

1. Great minds think alike? .... I had already started working on calling the form from the menu and was taking a break when I read your message. The good news is that I finally got it to work!

2. I use the scatter and gather because in the olden days of yore they taught us never to operate directly on data and becasue it was easier to cancel any changes to data if your were working on variables. Perhaps 6.0 has new features that are better than scatter and gather?

3. activate and load in form.... there was no code in either... mabye one day I'll figure it out/???

4. Something new/??? How do you get ride of the system toolbar. In looking at the docs I've found the toolbars class and methods to hide and show but for the life of me I just can't figure how to do it. I think I understand that you have to create an object variable with the newobject()... and then use the hidesystemtoolbars() method. My problem is using newobject(). What exactly do you pass to this? The names of classes etc I've tried crash with "variable not found!"


Thanks again for all your help. I'm looking forward to getting up to speed so I can help others. I've always found that 90% of Fox programmers are extreamly giving individuals and YOU have proven that to be true. You are an angel!
