>One last question and then I promise to leave you alone :). In your email below you say the function should return numbers between 0 and 1677215. Well what if I am using a color like RGB(1,128,255) which equals 0x00ff8001. That value is not within the range. So in this case am I forced to call the RGB function? Saying this.forecolor = FF8001 obviously results in an error.

The error is only in your assumption that there is an error - since you know hex, 1677215==0xffffff, so that is the maximal RGB value possible (full white). If you got an error there, it was because of the syntax - this.forecolor = 0xFF8001 is the way to use hex in VFP, otherwise VFP will look for a variable named FF8001, simply because it begins with a character. Albert has explained it better already.
