>Yes, it is. Me either until Larry pointed to it.

BTW, it's in VFP6.0 as well. However, when I type _vfp.SetVar in command window, the SetVar is not becoming blue as a reserved word. However, I found it in Help.

Nice tip from Larry (BTW, I missed the original thread, fortunately I saw this one).

>>>As you can see VFP.Setvar is much faster. It's understandable, because Execscript() has to write code to the file, compile it and run from the file. _VFP.Setvar on other hand is built-in method of _VFP object. In addition _VFP.Setvar can work with local variables.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
