why when i was clik command this is happend?

Yes, because VFP does not know MOD as an operator. You can use % as operator, or MOD() as a function, but not the way you used it. This can't be compiled and executed, VFP doesn't know what to do with this line of code, so it throws that error.

If you want to use mathematical operators, there's the language reference of what is available:

Chris must have much better eyesight than me. Or a much larger monitor. I can barely make out the text in the screen shots.

Merpat, do us all - and yourself - a favour. Stop posting these useless screen shots in the forum. Instead, just paste in the line of code that generated the error, and the text of the error message (which, in any case, you already typed into the subject line).

This applies to every one of your posts in the forum so far. In every case you are expecting us to figure out your problem by trying to understand a detailed screen shots and in some cases multiple screen shots, with no further information from you. All this just to save you the effort of a little typing.

And while I am in the mood for a rant, I would also ask you to provide meaningful subject headers. "Hello, I have a question" and "looping" do not come into that category.

To make it easier to provide what we need, be aware that when you have a VFP error window showing, if you hit CTRL+C, the text of that message gets copied to the clipboard. So you can paste that into your message to us without having to retype the error message.

Then, paste the code you want us to look at.

Well I'll be darned. 18 years using Visual FoxPro. Seven years before that using FoxPro, Foxbase and dBase. And I'm still learning something new.

I see. It works with any Messagebox:

MessageBox('Message',3,'Title')

Copy&Paste:

[pre]---------------------------
Title
---------------------------
Message
---------------------------
Yes No Cancel
---------------------------[/pre]

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I'm trying to cut down on the use of shrieks (exclamation marks), I'm told they are !good for you.

There is no place like G28 X0 Y0 Z0

FWIW, this came along fairly late in the game. VFP 9, I think.

AFAIK this is a Windows feature that has been present for ages

 

[GriffMG]

Well, it works in VFP6 as well.
And in Excel, so I think Dan is right = but Tamar brought it to me so she keeps the star!
(can you even remove a star once given?)

FWIW, I don't think it was exposed in VFP until late, but I can't say that for sure.
