Hi Cetin,

prefixes tell me the type of the variable. Could it be mis-prefixed? Of course, it's dynamic type assignment in VFP. However, for all practical purposes, and that's my point, being practical, hungarian notation tells me the type of the variable.

Because we use hungarian notation. It's an incredible aid to software maintenance, which after all is 60% of the development cost, over lifetime.

>>>Great. I always found Hungarian notation to be an ugly approach, still adopted to it just because I post code in forums and majority use it. Unfortunately too late, those redundant 2 letter prefixes stick to habits.
