On the other hand, Mark, many of us consider comments to be just as important as the 'active code'.

>Including lines of code in VCXs, PRGs, SCXs, MNXs, and QPRs? I would suggest writing a small prg to sum all the memlines() in the method fields of all the VCX and SCX files. Then you have Procedure and Command fields in the MNX to sum the memlines() for. I think you can use the Debugger profiler to get line numbers for PRGs. You might be better off appending the PRGs into a dummy dbf and counting the non-blank and non-commented lines. Of course, the line continuations [semi-colons] would slightly inflate this count. So, you could count how many non-commented lines end in a semi-colon to subtract this number off.
