>>>>>Over the years I've seen maybe half-a-dozen cases, in other peoples' code, where the programmer carelessly used different cases when referring to the same variable or other symbol name in a case-insensitive language. The code was always sloppy, so now it's a real "Danger, Will Robinson!" signal to me.

>>>>>In the final analysis, I prefer to use autocomplete/IntelliSense-like features of the IDE, or just copy/paste of variable and symbol names rather than typing them every time (error-prone), so case sensitivity doesn't really matter to me. If you code like your language is case-sensitive, even if it isn't, you never get burned.

>>Use PEM Editor on VFPX and it will preserve your case. I prefer CamelCase, too, but started using camel_case or Camel_Case because the table editor (MODI STRU) would not preserve case and it could get hard to read variables sometimes. Wish I'd never started using that dastardly "_".

http://vfpx.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=PEM%20EditorWorks in all versions of 9. A great tool with a lot of power and features. I'm still not using it to its potential.
