Sounds like it is time to get out and make some friends. ;-) But seriouly, maybe it will be helpful information to some other reader. It sounds like you understand the solution.

One thing brought out in the magazine is that you would expect the VFP 8 View Designer to accept an expression using the 'Is True' criteria, but it doesn't.

Actually, it was this thread that made me realize that this was the solution to a problem I was having myself. I didn't realize it even after reading the magazine. So, thank you to Carlos and Doru!!
