Thanks for trying this code. I have tested this on my PC running VFP8SP1, VFP9beta, and VFP7(lastest SP?) and all test give me the same results, the question mark is missing.

However, try placing another column at the end as the example below. The Edit and New columns have the question mark but the Delete column does not.

SELECT customer.name AS person, ;
customer.address AS address, ;
TAG1 + ;
"myapp~myproc~EDITRECORD~" + ALLTRIM(STR(customer.cid)) + ['>] + ;
"Edit " + ;
TAG2 AS Edit, ;
TAG1 + ;
"myapp~myproc~DELETERECORD~" + ALLTRIM(STR(customer.cid)) + ['>] + ;
"Delete " + ;
TAG2 AS Delete, ;
TAG1 + ;
"myapp~myproc~NEWRECORD~" + ALLTRIM(STR(customer.cid)) + ['>] + ;
"New " + ;
TAG2 AS New ;
FROM customer ;
INTO CURSOR c_customer NOFILTER

Thanks,

Jerry
