>>>This approach is throughout the application. I cannot change the names of the "data objects" all over. They used it exactly like a cursor. My whole point is I use mdot as needed. None of the people they tried to hire ever even say m.alias.property. The original coder is dead. There is lots of room for improvement. It cannot be maintained without mdots, despite Walter's insistence that I am wrong.

>Don't care for the humor. You're permitting bullying and harassment. Did I see you say the argument is about naming conventions? It is not. I can name variables any way I want. It makes zero difference to the compiler. Donald Knuth said even a 10% gain easily had is worth it. Naming conventions are not part of FoxPro's internal behavior. mDot is specifically manufactured into Fox and was specifically enhanced by Calvin Hsia? Is he an idiot? Is Tamar, who agrees with me? This is a technical matter, not a matter of what color socks one wants to wear.
