John:

In VFP, when I enter edit mode I do a 'scatter name = obefore', and on leaving edit mode I do a 'scatter name = oafter', then test
'if compobj(obefore, oafter)'.  Works a charm.

If I had to do that today in FPDOS, I'd simply write procs to emulate the 'scatter' and 'compobj' functions. The 'scatter' proc builds an array matching the record, the 'compobj' compares two arrays. Yes, you'll have different procs for each table, but they won't need a lot of code.

Haven't heard a response to my question.  Am I offending you vfp'er with
my fpdos question.  I bought vfp when it first came out (5.0) It kept
crashing, telling me that I didn't have enough memory even though I had
more the the amount required.  Since I use FP for important internal
applications, having a language that crashes caused me to drop it.  Now
that I use Ubuntu for my desktops, I've had to stick with fpdos/dosemu.
