Hi, Thank you. I am doing that. But I am looking for the good old approach of doing things in memory variables
and keeping the control myself rather than believing in the buffers and updates and reverts.

By the way do you have any book covering VFP 5.0 or can you recommend one for intermediate to
advanced level

thanks for the help
