okay, found that and just put some messageboxes at the top of the
procedures and I cannot get them to activate. Do i have do do anything
else to my dbc so they will take effect?
I am kind of limited to useing vfp.exe. I am having to remote to
my users and use a command processor that was built in vfp so I have
to use mydbc.dbc and edit the memo field. will this work?

thanks
