Doru,
what can I do for you? You solved my bigest problem with VFP8.0. I never come to the idea to have the Var
not in scope. I was starting to translate all to Cursoradapter where a can ad the &Where into the string. But it was a to much work so I left those applications alone ...
Thank you very much
Agnes

not static. The macro will expand at execution time, so it will act like a parameterized view, i.e.
