>No matter what version of Fox you're using, this should become a standard programming practice from day one. It improves code readibility and preventgs the above mentioned situation. In fact, I've forced programmers working under me to recode their work if they are not doing this.

Bill,
You sound like my kinda people! We are having a large debate here as to whether to enforce Hungarian Notation and programming standards (two/three of us use these as standard, the rest don't). If I had my way, ALL programs will HAVE to be written that way but the voices above me are reluctant. We won't give in.
