>>>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.

It's one of the standard intellisense macros which comes, AFAIK, with Fox, in the box. Just try it anywhere below the LOCAL declaration.

BTW, my trick to avoid misspellings of long variable names is to type them in camelcase first, then lowercase later. Then run beautifier, which I do after every dozen lines, as a matter of habit. The ones that stay lowercase are misspelled.
