Thanks to you and Akhan for responding. I just couldn't figure it out. It's fully functional without it. I figured there maybe was an undocumented purpose for it or something that I've managed to be totally unaware of since VFP came out. Afterall, it wouldn't surprise me--I've been surprised before! :o)

>>My question is why add the EXTERNAL PROC line? Isn't that NOT necessary in VFP? All functions running in the vfp8 form are contained in the form itself as properties of the form. I could understand a EXTERNAL FORM command if I was using macro substitution, but I'm not.
