Hi Russell.

>I've messed around with preserving case, but it is more difficult at present, and since I'm so used not not having it preserved, I've just kind of continued with that. It's nice to know the Add Property/Method dialog will soon do it.

"Soon" is not the correct word; "has done it for two years now" is the correct phrase <g>. A replacement for the Add Property/Method dialog has shipped with VFP 9 since the beta. I'm not at a machine that has VFP 9 right now, so I don't have the exact steps, but to install it, open the Task Pane Manager, choose the Solution Samples pane, expand VFP 9 samples, and find the FoxCode Menu Hit sample (that may not be the exact name). In the dialog that appears, click the button to turn on Menu Hit processing, then click the button to install the new dialog.

>However, there is some sort of problem in VFP that sometimes causes it to capitalize names. For instance, I was looking at a form the other day where the Name had been capitalized by VFP. I tried to change it back, but, as I've seen happen before, VFP just changes it back to capitals.

Don't bother changing the name when this happens -- the name is upper-cased in the internal VFP names table, not the class or form. Simply exit VFP, then restart, and the name will be in the proper case. I'm not sure why the case of the name gets changed (I think MS isn't sure of the reason either) but it isn't a permanent issue.
