Chuck,

If you really want to learn VFP, then look through the various class libraries that come with it. Yes, it can be time-consuming, but it is well worth the effort.

Rather than 'reinventing the wheel', check out the various text- and picture-based navigation button classes out there. See how it's done in them.
