>I've heard a lot about "refactoring" your code... Can someone explain exactly what this is, and give me a before and after example of some code that has been "refactored". Is there a tool that does this in VFP? I think .NET has some of this built in Visual Studio 2008, and you can buy 3rd party tools.

You'll find considerable information on the subjct in back issues of the UT Magazine.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to get at them. There was a series regarding "Agile...".

My *personal* opinion is that "refactoring" should really only be applicable in a small minority of cases.
