Excuse me for my limited knowledge with VFP class library, but would something like a PROCEDURE be the way to do it? The way I did it in ol' days was type the long coding of security in a PRG and then have the program go back and forth (man, it's was so long that I even touch any security, since all my work here for 4 years was fully open access, and now this one needs the security). It's gonna take a while to refresh my memory (sigh).

>You can make your own control class library that has all the needed programming in it. That way you only program it once and re-use it as needed when designing your programs.
