Recently people have written about problems with fields named DESC, NUMBER and now DATE and TIME. All of these words are used internally by VFP, so it has trouble figuring out which meaning is the right one.

Hi Barbara and thanks for answering...
I inherited the problems with this program. My job is to makedo with what
I have and not redo. I do not have to explain the problems one gets when they have to modify an inherited program. As a rule, I try and stay away from reverse words, verbs, syntax and whatever.. :)
