I haven't been called Bick since I was in secondary school and that's a   LONG time ago.  :-) The pictures of your forms were enough to give me an idea of how you   wanted your forms to work but without seeing how you have named your   objects or what fields are in your tables I can't give you code that will   fit straight into your form. You will have received a copy of the second edition of Ken Mayer's "The   dBASE Book" with your copy of dBASE 9.  In the book Ken covers everything   you need to get started with OODML (the new object oriented commands in   dBASE) in detail.  You can find a link to the actual code used in his book   just above the illustration at the bottom of the page at   http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/dBASEBook.htm The book was published before the advent of dBASE 9 so some of the syntax   given doesn't match the code streamed out by the designer for, amongst   others, the database and query objects.  dBASE 9 does, however, still   accept the old syntax if you type in code. If you read the book it should answer most of your questions before you   need to ask them. :-)  Getting to grips with OODML is, however, a bit of a   challenge and you will always find help here in the newsgroups. Mervyn.
