I love this, it is really nice to use this and not have to check if it is open all the time (i.e. if ! used(tablename)...) I often add the initial index in the statement as well (... order TAGNAME ...). The only downfall is the use command this way does not automatically select the table as well, so in many cases you need to select it after the use command, but it still reduces a lot of code down into 1 neat little line.

I converted all my code from the workspace numbers to this method. One thing I noticed that surprised me is that all the table access seems to much quicker. Not sure why VFP works with them quicker if workspace is assigned by the programmer as a number vs. VFP doing it automatically, but I like it.
