Marc;
You have one dot too many in front of vcust1; try: Set var cust# = .vcust1 FWIW I avoid using symbols like # in names, I would use CustNo instead.makes for cleaner code and avoids future problems.

I have a column Exit EEP and one line will not work when I use themes. Set var cust# = ..vcust1 cust# is predefined This EEP has worked for years but with themes that part of the EEP fails. I think my head must be on backwards.

In my very first 7.1 application, I used the default "btnface" color for the background in my form, panels, etc... Looked beautiful here. I sent screen images to the client and they loved it. Installed it there for the first on-site test, and all the controls had an unreadable dark-blue background!!! On another computer the backgrounds were some kind of brown. The office was staffed with 3 elderly ladies, each of whom had changed the windows default for larger fonts and different color schemes. I had to change every form, and alot of the controls, to use nothing but the standard color names. To tell you the truth, I've gotten sloppy and don't do that anymore. This was the only client I've had it happen with. Karen Marc As far as the colors are concerned, always choose colors for your objects using color names, or custom colors (red, cyan, maroon, etc.) vs using the 'object' type colors (btnface,window,btnhighlight), etc. Those are controlled by the users Windows settings. Whatever their setting is for buttons is how your buttons will display. If you specify the exact color you want, the windows setting shouldn't affect it any. Also, I'm not sure if you use themes, the windows large font size might be ignored..you'd have to try. Dawn
