Hi Rich,
I changed the object name so it wasn't the same as the table name (I was also thinking confusion in terms of future program maintenance), I saw the example under SCATTER NAME in the VFP 6.0 Language Reference and that's why I did it, but I wondered if that was a smart move at the time. I will see about making a form property as you suggested. Thank
I agree with everyone here, it seems to be a scope problem with my variables. It's not easy to find a good example of SCATTER NAME whatever MEMO or GATHER NAME whatever MEMO. I have about a dozen FoxPro and VFP books and there is not much on SCATTER NAME. I have lots of info on plain old SCATTER MEMVAR MEMO.
I also like the SCATTER TO idea, but the guy I am doing this for doesn't like it when I overuse arrays in our network apps. He's afraid something is going to happen to the data.
Thanks everyone!
