Dear Jurgen,
Thank you very much for your help. After trial and error, I can run
FORECAST, but not like what you suggested below, but:

object.Forecast(12, 1, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);
(where object is the appropriate variable name).

But, I still seek out what const iFoInitial is for. When I put "0" for the
const iFoIntial, then the Ox won't show the forecast result. But when I put
"1" or >1 then forecast numbers started to come out.

Does somebody know what iFoInitial represents in MSVAR.130? Thank you again.

Best regards,
Pepi
