I am looking forward to watching your FoxCast when it becomes available. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the live version, but that is the beauty of FoxCast. Developers can watch it when ever they have the time. Your IntelliSense session is one of those sessions you can listen to several times and learn something new each time. Nice addition Andy!

Modifying the test for specific variable prefixes in my script so that if what the user typed is not found the UserTyped property on the passed in FoxCode object is replaced with "zloc" as follows:<br /> IF NOT INLIST( lcKey , "lc", "ln", "ll", "lo", "lu", "ld", "lt", ;<br /> "tc", "tn", "tl", "to", "tu", "td", "tt" ) <br /> loFoxCode.UserTyped = "zloc"<br /> RETURN .F.<br /> ENDIF<br /><br />Now you have the best of both worlds. The ability to filter variables by the prefix, but if there is nothing found with the prefix you automatically get the list of all declared variables afterwards....

loFoxCode.UserTyped = “zloc”
RETURN .F.
ENDIF

Now you have the best of both worlds. The ability to filter variables by the prefix, but if there is nothing found with the prefix you automatically get the list of all declared variables afterwards….
