Hiya Mike,

Same here. I just decided that if I use it all the time and VFP didn't complain about it,
no problem. My typing speed is pretty decent for a programmer, so it isn't as if it's
taking all that much extra time and effort.

>I've taken to using it all the time (except with macro substition of course).

Yeah. That, and don't clip VFP code and paste it into a PHP app and expect it
to understand m.. Basically, I wanted to port the code verbatim, keeping
the same variable names and all. PHP said "No way, Jose!" :^)

Regards,

Randall
