Or, you run across the application that calls a function, which calls a function, which calls a function, which calls a function, which calls a function

And somewhere in that chain, something is borked - every function is called with the same parameters, which change names for every function - and the redefines...did I mention the redefines? I LOVE redefines.

This was written by someone who did VB6, didn't know VFP, didn't WANT to know VFP and didn't have the testicular droopage to go to a room and ask the accumulated 40 years of experience in Fox how to do something.
