I am a MSAccess programmer and an occasional Visual Foxpro programmer.
I need to create an event in a VFP form each time the current record
changes (like the CURRENT event in Access). Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Harry,
Are these "changes" data changes? Locally or Remotely? Or are you talking about row (record) changes?

What version and SP of VFP are you using? Are these free tables or in a database?

Rick,

I guess I phrased the question poorly. The "current record change" I
referred to does not mean that the record is changed or edited by a
user or program, but rather that a new or different record is displayed
by the form as a result of some action moving the record pointer in the
underlying recordset. The "current event" normally would fire when
a)the form is opened and a record is displayed b)the current record is
changed from the toolbar c)the user invokes a search which locates a
new record. I realize that I could try to enumerate all the actions
that cause the record pointer to move and call an appropriate routine
from each, but I was hoping there was one consolidated event provided
by Foxpro that would take care of this.
I am using V6 of Foxpro and the tables are in a database.

No, the VFP data engine does not provide a native "record pointer
moved" event. You can "encapsulate" VFP cursors / aliases by using
private datasessions though, and that way get a similar effect.
