Comments aren't required "to run the app" either. Do you remove them too? I'm guessing no, so, what's the issue about leaving three small words in the code. It may look "sloppy" but the point is, it doesn't matter at run time. Do you remove the break points too? No, cause it doesn't matter.

>>Why do you need to remove SET STEP ON? AFAIK, later versions of VFP didn't care in the runtime. Also, SET STEP ON has the advantage that it does not slow down the debugging process when trying to update the trace window when a break point is set.
