If you code like your language is case-sensitive, even if it isn't, you never get burned.

Can't believe that! VFP developers not using m. and discussing case-sensitivity:) Well that would make sense. For the record I do use m. and it is at least harmless to use where you can use it. W/o using it you could be caught with bugs (not necessary to mention about performance cost with today's hardware maybe).
