Riddle me this!

[john at timescape.com]

I'm glad it worked, because as I said (badly) if it wasn't going to be that, I had no idea what it could be either.

I learned something about filePro that I didn't know a few weeks ago from a person in Hawaii, but as for being an old dog, I've got you beat, because I was just going to put it here into this note - and I can't remember it!!!  Getting old(er) *is* a bitch.

BOOM!

Who said old dogs cannot learn new tricks!?!  Well, I'm sure this is not new but it is to me.

Absolutely right and I simply toggled to a screen where the real fields are shown then B and data is shown.

All these years coding filePro and I never heard nor came across this; then again, I am yet to read the user manual.


Thank a million John!
