I know you can send more than one variable to a function, but you can only return one variable from a function when it ends, correct? So, if I wanted to have more than one variable not in the scope of my function be altered, is there a way to do that in DBPro? Like in C\C++ you can use "pointers" that allow you to refrence a variable and make chances to it from with in a function.

Are you using DB Classic or Pro?

If you are using classic, then arrays are the only global variable types.

Otherwise, just declare your variable global at the top of your program - 'global myvar' or 'global othervar as integer'

Thank you for your help, I was just thinking about checking to see if there was an option to make variables global as an alternative. Cool, and thanks for the speedy reply.
