Hi Virgilio,

You need to do a little bit of reading on OOP in order to learn more about these things, but in the meantime, here's the answer so you can get started...

nprice() and show_details() are METHODS that were added by the programmer to the form.

If you double-click on the form itself (in design mode) or look at the METHODS tab in the form's properties window (you get it by right-clicking on the form itself - also in design mode).

These methods are called from another method on the same form, and the "ThisForm" qualifier tells vfp that the code it must execute lies inside the form itself. If the methods where elsewhere, the qualifiers would be different (i.e. Container1.showPrice()).

Good luck, and keep the questions coming!!!
