David,

Variables scattered from a table, behave like all other variables declared in a method - when the method goes, so do the variables.

You have to use a different mind set for developing under visual as opposed to fox 2.x. The best way to put fields from a table on to a form is to use bound controls ( as you have always been told to avoid in 2.x!!). Then you have a 'memory variable' pointer to the field in the form of

THISFORM.FieldName.Value

If you must scatter your variables though - converted form?, scatter them before you run the form. This should only be used in modal forms - (the variables would obviously clash if you tried running the same form more than once!) - if at all :-)

Hope this helps
