>Dear Hilmar, Just to claify -- I meant the command COMPILE is part of the code in the executable. The book clearly says that it will not work. However, on my machine it works very well. Lew
As the other replies reminded you, the capability to COMPILE was added in SP3.
You can now copy a memo field to a PRG, or create a PRG on-the-fly (perhaps variable, depending on some condition), and DO it.
If users have a version of the DLLs previous to SP3 (Service Pack 3), I am sure they will get "feature not available" if you try this.
