 I respect a guru that's willing to learn....especially from a beginner.:)
 As you're well aware, Access 2 has been my Windows database (with FoxPro
 really my Dos database). Objects and properties aren't new to me. VFP 5
 has objects that are identical to Access, and in many cases, their names
 and properties are identical. Soooooo, because of that, in my quest (that's
 what it's becoming) to learn VFP 5, in some ways, I should be ahead of
 the game...right?
 Ok, here's one. How do you easily create a calculated field in a form?
 In the Tasmanian Traders example, that answer is buried in a class
 somewhere. I assumed it was like in Access - take a text box and stick it
 wherever you want, and in the ControlSource property just type in your
 expression and tada - calculated field - FAST and **EASY**. But in VFP 5,
 text box like Access - yes, ControlSource property like Access - yes, but
 horror of horrors, stick an expression in that property to easily create a
 calculated field like Access - NO! I don't believe it.....ARGGGGGGGGGG!
 Abb
... If you can't figure it out, get rid of it FAST!
