I need to find out some info about foxbase+/mac..
I have a need to generate a spreadsheet like window/screen and put data
values in these fields. I don't need to do any calculations or anything of that sort on the values, I just need to know which one the user clicked on, and to
be able to match that up to the value contained/displayed in that cell... 
My question is NOT how to do this, but is is possible? Ie. can I at least get
screen coordinates for mouse clicks, or better, assign a value to each cell and
get that value returned when the user selects it? As long as it _CAN_ be done,
that's all I need to know.

Thanks,

Strictly speaking, no.  There is no programatic way within FoxBASE+/Mac to 
determine where the mouse was clicked.  I can't think of a reason why you 
would need to, really.  There are ways to do what you want built-in to FoxBASE/
+Mac, but since you don't want to know, I won't tell you :-).
