>>I agree. The number of cases where I add it are limited. It may well be that it are exactly those cases where I have not paid enough attention to the naming of the variable or function. I'll gonna pay some attention to this.

IF THIS.VALUE = .T.

Elsewhere, I use "if empty(.chkSomething.value)" for "if unchecked", because it also covers the case when checkbox has a numeric controlsource.

Perhaps YOU know where you are, but what's the harm of writing = .T. in such a case. Or stated in other words: Would you think derogative of another programmer when you saw such a line in his/her code?
