Sure, and in fact, I still use SEEK all the time on the vfp cursors....but I left SET RELATION behind many years ago. I didn't mean to convey that you had to dump xBase altogether; indeed, as you said, they're very powerful commands. You just need to work in the "recordset" (client/server) mentality instead of direct table access. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
