Thanks for the reply. I've held off using VB anything so far and I'll probably old off forever if I keep getting VFP work. With luck, I'll never have to compare these languages with first hand experiance.

My particular problem is that the code is stuck in the form's code base, this applies even to something like a command button. IMV, this blurs the hierachial (sp?) line between what's what. VFP's method is more intuitive.
