You can use ALINES() to parse lines from a memo filed into an array and ASCAN to find the row in the array.

>I am working on a program that reads a form DB. For example, my form is called myform.scx. I browse the form and see some fields such as class and properties.

>I find all of the textbox fields by looking at the class memo field for "textbox" and display the value and row that it is in the form DB. That works, but while I am on that row I also want to look at the Properties memo field and return the ControlSource=whatever line and the HelpContextID=whatever line and plug those values into another DB. How would I do it? I have tried a few different commands, but haven't got the right answer. Here's the code I use to find the textbox fields in my form/form DB.
