Here is that actual call Ive used for the helpme function

m.zsavealias = ALIAS()

= helpme(m.zsavealias, "company", " " + m.zsavealias + ".company + ' CMP' + ;
TRANSFORM(" + m.zsavealias + ".cmpny_no, '@L 99999')", ;
"xselectbar", LEN(&zsavealias..company) + 11, ;
IIF(EMPTY(m._vsouserid), '.F.', IIF(m._vsosuper, '.F.', '!SEEK(codeit(m._vsouserid) + codeit(PADR(PRMBAR("helppopup", m.zi), 80)), "vsosecur")')), .F., .T.)

basically this is a popup that has the companies that are there in the app and the user is controlled by a security database and the skip will be based on the user access rights. Bit complex but here it is, otherwise the helpme function shines out where I want to set filter, normal helps, great. But skip does not work
