I have simplified the form. I continue to struggle with Arrays and Queries. DBase Plus 9 is sure keeping me honest. Merwyn , I hope I didn’t insult you when I used your last name. I am an old soldier and last names are the Army way. Back to Plus 9. I have been through OODML three times and just when I think I have that Query thing - the system tells me differently, I tried to get away without an Alias when establishing a new query and - q.sql := “select * from :ThePack:Pack2” and the system is looking for an expression. I have used the Navigator without any success. Out of frustration I rewrote the project (my project) not the dBase Plus project - the form Pack5.wfm is attached. All that works is the On Open blanking of all fields except FWD(Total Cost on the form), and the Close pushbutton which updates a dog’s individual Table Back to the Ken’s Big Book. He stated that dBase Plus may or may not recognize Visual dBase 5.x. These are the vdb5x Procedures included today’s attempt to make it work. Can someone give me some examples to work with? Particularly a code to add the Cost to the Total Cost (aka Fwd). I am not having any luck converting Ken’s Fish to my Dogs.
