It dwindled away while I was working in the US. I keep thinking to restart it, but don't really have the time.

>>>Well, that would probably be the first place I'd have gone, but I'm sure that with all the code I have running under VFP 7 I must have statements like this elsewhere, yet I don't remember running across this one before. How did the product get released if it can't handle a simple statement like that? It's frustrating.

>>>I did run across another strange one awhile back that was also solved by moving a field value to a memvar. I was scanning through one table and referencing a value in another table whose record pointer was not being moved. Yet I would get errors with this and moving the field value to a memvar solved the problem. There was nothing wrong with the code. It should have worked, but VFP didn't handle it properly. Hey, I love the language and VB has had and does have it's own problems as does every language, I'm sure, but silly stuff like this is irritating.
