Jan,
When I am using the form designer,
Then add or edit variables,
Then Expression Builders,
then I add variable to variable listbox,
there are 3 choices, OK, Close, Apply.
After I say add,
then it seems that I am not able to continue until I reopen.
Thanks,
Boyd

Boyd,

Creating Form Variables?
I have had no problems creating more than one at a time
(except when I screw up).
Or are you talking;
SET VARIABLE v1Int INTEGER = NULL
SET VARIABLE v1Txt TEXT = NULL
These you have to set one at a time.
You can clear multiple variables but these are done one at a time.
You can also use
SELECT column1,column2,column3 INTO +
    vcolumn1 INDIC ivcolumn1, +
    vcolumn2 INDIC ivcolumn2, +
    vcolumn3 INDIC ivcolumn3 +
 FROM mytable +
 WHERE mywhereclause
but it is a good idea to declare these variables first.

Jan
