It's too early here and I've just sipped a bit of coffee, usually don't fire on all 13 cylinders before half mug... but I agree there are some I find hard to tolerate ;)

>On the topic of mdot: it isn't Donald Trump, so it's OK to approve or not approve. The good news is that things evolve and once you start using VFP C++ Compiler's variable obfuscation, mdot can be a lot less important.

IMO, mdot is largely a matter of VFP folklore. Wake me up when it gets to Fox vs Clipper, or even better, Spectrum vs Commodore.
