>thanks George, i couldn't find this in the help. BTW don't you think the VFP help is the worst among the others in the Visual Studio?
Not especially, but then I've been working in Fox since 1988, and I really don't use it that much. At any rate, I'm also used to working with Lotus help files, which are dreadful (IMO) when compared to any of the MS docs.
