If you give me one file or 8 separate files, that is not more encapsulated because it's not important to the operation of the code at runtime.

FWIW, I'm astounded beyond belief you are making this argument. I disagree with your thinking 100%, and we'll never agree on this.

Keep coding as you're doing. VFP can work with your model, and my model. It's highly adaptive and flexible.
