Griff - the problem is that zhed (zhed0708) has posted question after question (at least 5 just since Aug 11) in the same frustrating manner.
Now the number of questions isn't, by itself, really a problem - although it does suggest a SEVERE lack of understanding about VFP.
He's just assigned a control to a databse field and doesn't quite understand the consequences - might be just one example of that SEVERE lack of understanding.
Regardless, the biggest problem is that he is seeming to ask for line-by-line solutions to each of these challenges - not suggestions or advice which could assist or guide HIS really learning VFP and doing the needed work himself.
Plus, add to that, the fact that each challenge that he is asks about is most often not really stated or, at best, poorly described (the "frustrating" part) so that our ability to help him is often a very tedious and tiresome process.
OK, English might be a 2nd language for him and for that I'll cut him some slack, but he should get it by now that explaining things clearly will get to the answer MUCH easier.
If he is really looking for line-by-line solutions then he needs to hire someone to give that to him - not just keep coming back here time and time again - expecting us to write his application's code for him.
Otherwise he needs to spend some time like the rest of us have done to really learn VFP - from books, on-line video tutorials, and other sources.
After that he can come back with the few remaining questions about challenges.
Just my own frustrated two cents...
