Hi Bill,

>Is this 65,000 limit representing the size of a underlying symbol table of some sort for the whole of a VFP application, or is there a separate one for PUBLIC's and then one each for each routine's PRIVATE's and LOCAL's, or am I way off?

VFP uses a name table for all names, these are variables, alias names, object names, and such. This name table is limited to about 65000 entries. It's cleared from unused names when VFP is idle.
