Peter,
Prefix the expression with an "=" and that will allow you to use any
expression that you want.
i.e
=ALLTRIM(fname)+' '+ALLTRIM(lname)

Subject: browse versus grid
I'm new to this grou and to VFP but not to Foxpro. Few years ago I used
Foxpro2.6 (for DOS) and in BROWSE command I used "computed values" in some
fields. Example
USE customers
BROWSE FIELDS cust_id, fullname=ALLTRIM(fname)+' '+ALLTRIM(lname) NOMODIFY
I found that the similar command work in VFP8 too:
BROWSE FIELDS cust_id, fullname=ALLTRIM(fname)+' '+ALLTRIM(lname) NAME
bygrid
In debugger I see that mygrid.Column2.ControlSource contain this value
"ALLTRIM(fname)+' '+ALLTRIM(lname)" but I'm not able to do the same effect
in
standard Grid object. Is it possible? How?
To explain why I can do it I want to say: fields "fname" and "lname" is
defined as C(100) and this is too big to show in grid. For this reason I
want
to show single "computed" field containing both trimed values from table
fields.
