Hi, Samuel.

Not natively, although there are a few workarounds involving UNIONed cursors and conditional fields.

This is a feature expected for the next version of VFP (code named Europa). You can read more about it at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/letters/ (there are even a couple screenshots!).

Hope this helps,
