>>>Everyone is NOT equal. I have been bullied and harassed by one individual for years on a specific topic. mdot is documented, it is built in to foxpro. There is no denying this. Walter wants to force his opinion onto every one - an opinion that does not work in the wild. I am not wasting my time here anymore.

FWIW, if we'd shut down dissenters who began saying mdot has value in those days when we all knew that camelcase was far better and mdot consigned to the obsolete dustbin- then we'd all still be using camelcase without mdot. QED.

I never said you cannot get by without it. I said that based on all the crap I have seen and continue to see, and the people who cannot even debug 3 lines of code because of a missing mdot, it is necessary.
