Nope. There's only 1 table open as I'm still building the class and the fields in there aren't even remotely close.

The assign method simply isn't working. There's probably a bug in VFP having to do with assigning objects to other objects or somesuch.

At any rate, I'm not going to waste time on it when it works just fine without the assign method. ACCESS/ASSIGN is a handy idea, but nothing that can't be replaced with other methods.

Thanks for your help,

Michelle
