>>Just Dangit! I'm a fairly skilled programmer, but a apparently a terrible typist/speller. 9 times out of 10 when I my app bombs (while I am running it from the IDE during development), it is not becuase of bad logic, but simply becuase I have misspelled a variable name in a method. Good grief I am tottaly tired of that. I sure wish the thing would figure that when I close the code window, or even better, when I am typing.

What is ZLOC? The tool Naomi recommended?

Matt - This is not exactly what you were talking about, but I found myself often making the same misspellings of VFP keywords, mainly in the Command window, and put them in the Intellisense manager the way I misspelled them and then the right way for the expansion. Voila! No more of those misspellings.
