Mike YOu have an excellent question - I was sure there was a fast fix for this - SET SORTMENU ON - but when I tested it I found the following:
Create some variables in memory, deliberately out of alph order: SET VAR vMike TEXT SET VAR vZebra TEXT SET VAR vArthur INTEGER SET SORTMENU OFF Go into an existing form and try to locate a variable: the variables show system vars first, then the variables you created IN THE ORDER YOU CREATED THEM. Try to locate a Check Box: same thing, minus the system variables. Exit from forms, and SET SORTMENU ON Try to locate a variable: the vars now come up system vars first, then the ones you creates IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. Try to locate a check box - there has been no change - they are in the order created. DR. R., sounds like an enhancment request! Can we get it into that new fabulous release at the conference? (Yes, I will submit this to the proper location at RDCC!)
