I think he wasn't going to mix and match the listbox and textbox, so much as he was going to start with a base object (like custom) and then morph it into whatever object he needed (like listbox or textbox) but not mix/match listbox and textbox together. But he didn't explicitly say that so perhaps I'm misreading this. > > > Do you see the bigger picture now? It was never a slam on VFP. Good point. Thanks for the explanation.
