Re: for loops

Matthew, as i read you post it came to me, i am really confused now. i am
checking a variable that is in a table (cpass). below is my code, i can see
why "I" will not change but now how do i fix it.

for i = 1 to 3
If cpass = alltrim(upper(this.value)) and !empty(this.value)
thisform.command1.enabled = .T. &&"ok" button to let them in
Thisform.refresh
Return
Else
messagebox(str(i)+" " +"Password does not match")
*This.value = space(34)
return
T = 0

Endif
i = i+1
next
Thisform.refresh
