Hi George,

>VFP's another animal, and I haven't yet found a reason to "break" this rule. However, I've always believed that one should keep their eyes open and not blindly follow such rules when other considerations might dictate otherwise.

Not me... I code with my eyes shut and the keyboard behind my back <G>.
Seriously though, sometimes your eyes are shut and you don't even know it. That's when another set of eyes comes in handy.

I also avoid loop and exit commands under the same principal.
