What you're suggesting is fine, you just need to remember that it has to be consistent, variable name-wise. And that the calculation MUST be a string. Though I'd probably just use macro substitution. I just ran the following in interactive VFP 9: Cost = 100 tax = 14 overhead = 6 jones_total = "(Cost * (Tax/100)) + Overhead" ? &jones_total or replace the last line with: total_calc = "(Cost * (Tax/100)) + Overhead" jones_total = &total_calc Ran it again in a program file, still executed just fine.
