Hi Ko,

It just looks odd to use a ][(closer together) pointer the a mouse pointer to pick something to click on. Most things that you click on have a mouse pointer to pin point what your trying to click on.

I use read only fields but the pointer is still an data update pointer; I guess.

If its too difficult to change, I'll live with the standards.

I have been using Fox(s) since the 1980's. I hated to see Microsoft buy the product. They only wanted to buy customers for there future products and it seems to be working. By now you would think that VFP would be a piece of cake.
Microsoft creates products but doesn't make them work! You have to.

Grass is alway greener.

Is VFP.NET a better product or just a wrapper for .NET.

Thanks
Roland...
