Hi,

thnx for your advice. The strange thing is that changing the "properties" memo field works 2 times... once when i'm adding the propertie second when i change the value, from there on when i'm opening the form all the standard properties for that label are gone ...(but they r still in the scx file)

Opening the scx file and making a change in it makes tht when opening the form the properties r back.

The problem is that the added propertie contains the translation of the caption off the conserning label. So that we can translate all our labels in just a sec expl from English to french.

As we r still working in vfp5 i can't follow yr advice concerning vfp6.

Do you know a good alternative for a translation off all the label on a form ?
It's important tht we also keep the original translation some where.

(don't tell me to start using vfp6 :o))

thnx
