At least, I've used {} above the SCREEN statement and } within ATTRIBUTES and INSTRUCTIONS sections with no problems. These comments are stripped } out of the compiled .frm object, however, whereas Jack's solution would leave them in } (which is good or bad, depending on what you're using sccs comments for). } The point is to leave them in so that you can 'what' the object and see what version it is. cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, DMD/IS Boise, Idaho, USA jparker@boi.hp.com <--- New address _____________________________________________________________________________ If anything can go wrong, fix it.
