Anyother suggestions ?? n=aused(aUse) Create cursor FStruct (field_name c(10), Field_type c(1), field_len i, field_dec i) for j=1 to n sele (ause(j) =afields(astru) sele fstruct appe from array astru endf now you have the structure of all of your tables in this array. You may need some few lines more to add the aliases into this cursor, if you want it. Then you can even copy this cursor into your array, but I think a Locate for "N"=trim(file_name) will surely find it, while Ascan(alArray, "N") will stop at the first numeric field's _type_.
