Hi Chris

>Thanks for the reply but it's Foxpro 2.6a for DOS I am working with just now...

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to use VFP for the new stuff.

The equivalent in FP2.6 is in a directory named 'Goodies' where there are various examples. There is also an 'application generator' (named FoxApp) which may be useful to you though I am not sure what it does in the DOS version of FP - I haven't even got a copy of that any more <g>
