Hi Glenn,

Yes, I espouse multiple exits when useful, that's true. I wouldn't, though, call any such construct a "premature exit" because:
1) when it's appropriate to exit, it cannot be 'premature';
2) executing to the end of any procedure does not constitute "maturity".

However, the real point of this reply is to ask you why you think that the problem posed here would require special handling if the routine did have multiple exits as opposed to a single exit BUT with a few llReturn=.F.s sprinkled through it?

cheers

>>>I have a VFP 8 multiple page pageframe that contains about 100 text boxes. I want to stick in a line of code, "m_fieldmodified=.T.", in the interactivechange event of each text box. Many of the text boxes already have text in the interactive change event. Is there a quick way of doing this?
