>Besides the answers you got, do you have HackFox? IMO the very best and most indispensable VFP book around!

Yes I do. But thanks for the suggestion. You are right, it's a must have resource.

Still, one of the drawbacks of the HackFox chm and VFP chm is the inability to search for strings with embedded punctuation. In this case "()" might have yeilded some useful results which could be further filtered.

David Frankenbach's search suggestion (using the near clause in searches), in a related subthread, is very helpful though.
