Once I've seen the problems with the grid based on cursor with logical field called "mark". It went away when I advised to change the field name.

>>Answer me this please. I know it is ill-advised to use reserved words as functions and variables, but what are the consequences of say creating a procedure called 'refresh' or declaring 'isreadonly' as a private variable? I ask because I am trying to find the anomalies in an application delivered by others. The developer is a FPD/FPW hardcore (all SAY and GET, 200+ *.prgs and all free tables), but he put the program on VFP runtime. I want to find out if the quirks I am seeing are related to the inappropriate use of reserved words.
