Is there a simple way to skip over certain fields in a
say...get...read sequence? I have a rather busy form
and I'd like to skip over certain fields if certain prior
fields on the same data entry screen are blank.

Thanks,

--Bruce

Try "GET ... WHEN .NOT. ISBLANK( prior_fld )" !!

This is untested, bu should work:

get FIELD2;
when .not. isblank(FIELD1)

FIELD2 will be skipped when FIELD1 is blank. Note that only the last two versions of dBASE support isblank().
