Hi Mike

>If you have a piece of code that may have an open alias you are at risk. Putting them in can't hurt and might save you and will be slightly faster. What's wrong with ANY OF THAT?

None. Thanks for the link to Calvin's blog. I'll make it a habit to start reusing m. I was always careful about lc, pc, gc stuff so I was not worried about as my field names as they did not have the l,p,g prefix avoiding name conflicts.

Thanks.
