Hi Chaim.
VFP 8 now has the "Insert into ??? from name ????" functionality so that you can insert from a data object. Therefore you can scatter into an object (Scatter name ????) and then Insert from the data object. Or you can utilize a visual object with alot of functionality built into it. The advantages are that you are working with an object rather than memvars. Name casting is tighter. If you mispell the memvar you may not know it for months. M.Name = "Gearge" will create a var called Name if you have misspelled it, and it should have been m.cName. Objects catch this mistake the 1st time you run it. Even faster if you get into intellesense. My feeling is that Scatter/Gather Memvar is old. Any way to work with objects is tighter..
