Hi Larry,

>When you say you "created the methods but didn't actually code them", what does that mean? Is the default code that VFP puts into those methods still there or did you delete that code.

I let VFP do it's thing and left it at that. I just brought up the displayonly property in the Edit Property/Method menu option and checked off the Access and Assign check boxes. I did not remove or alter the code in any way - just saved it and moved on to something else.

>And when you attempt to set a default value, how are you doing that? From the Property Sheet or via code?

I'm trying to set the default value through the property sheet - that's the ideal method - one place to look.

One other thing to mention. When I then go in and try to change the value from .T. to anything else, it doesn't take. If I then go and remove the access and assign methods (once again, through the Edit Property/Method menu) it's value in the property sheet reads "Write-Only" and cannot be tweaked! That's why I said "Rule" in my original post. I'm banging my head against a rule here - I can feel it.

Thanks again...

Erik
