The Xbase / eXpress family has lost another member. Cliff will be missed. He was a great guy and it was a pleasure to have known him.

Thanks Roger, So: @ 12,40 DCSAY {||"Current 'Other' Balance"} Must be changed to: @ 12,40 DCSAY {||"Current "+chr(39)+"Other"+chr(39)+" Balance"} A real pain to change in all my code, but as long as I know the rules ....

A couple of minor problems that have cropped up since I started testing version 264.

Assuming the .txt file is comma delimited, try:
Append From "C:\PONCHES\Ponches.Txt" DELIMITED

IF the .txt file is fixed length fields, try:
Append From "C:\PONCHES\Ponches.Txt" SDF

The commands "Set Safety oFF" and "Set Safety oN" are not needed

VPE is a print engine, the reports are developed in Xbase++ compatible code and the data is displayed and/or printed with VPE.

Terry

VPE could do this by placing the 'PreView' of the text on a modal window with no tool bar and limiting the exit to a button embedded at the end of the text. (VPE has the ability to react to mouse clicks on text areas or embedded graphics.) The 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons can be standard eXpress bu...
