Use FmHly.scx
Goto 11
Browse Nowait

Something like that. Investigate the memo fields finding MTMLG25.

Bye, Olaf.

Thx Olaf, believe I have it.
I think the index header was funky.
What I did was change the field Name without deleteing the index first, and it did not like that.
Was able to work it out and now have it working.

I see.

Yes, as indexes can be any expressions the expressions are stored as index meta information in the cdx header, and if the expression contains a field name altering the field name does not automatically get changed in index expressions too. Would be nice, if that would automatically kind of cascade to everything else accessing that field.

As that's not done vfp starts interpreting the former field name as variable name and thus the irritating error.

Bye, Olaf.
