Richard,

I'll be happy to tell you: DO NOT USE ANY VFP RESERVED WORDS AS NAMES ANYWHERE IN YOUR CODE!

There, is that what you want?

No, I can't tell you exactly where trouble will arise, I can only tell you that you are INVITING trouble by doing so. Trouble which could well be VERY HARD to nail down.

Cheers,

Jim N
