Personally, I find the 2nd line MUCH easier to understand, and its consistent with any other mathematical or concatenation formula.

>Thanks for your comment. I wasn't thinking of it as forcing 'C' type coding. I coded in C many years ago and do NOT miss it! VFP is a much better language and environment in my humble opinion. It's just a short cut I like, just like the ! instead of NOT in a conditional. It was just a thought.

Okay -- I understand you want a shortcut. I wasn't trying to 'flame' you, and I know you weren't proposing to 'force' everyone to use it, but I find that syntax particularly obnoxious and unreadable.

P.S. I'm not a fan of '!' vs 'NOT' either -- too easy to get misread when reviewing the code...

Guess I have my grumpy hat on today... Don't take it personally.
