Hi, The use of 'Set Filter' in VFP is outdated. Nowadays we use Select....from...Where...into

Your select statement does not do the same thing. I use set filter to check for data having certain properties especially when I am likely to change said data. It is excellent for when I wish to diddle some data to force an error condition during program testing.

Many xBASE commands are very good for use in exploration, debugging, testing, and the like.
