Denis:
Thanks. I will take breaks ... longer breaks. Instead of coding related books, however, I will go out and purchase Tom Clancy books ... and start reading for fun again.

>>Am I burnt out? No not me! NEVER! ... is what I used to feel. Is this a common thing amount programmers? What do you do when you don't feel like facing the FOX anymore?

>>I can't just stop, so I force my self to open VFP ... the progress is now so slow it makes me even sicker: more of myself for feeling this way.

>>Please advise, ANYTHING.

If you think that you can't afford to really take breaks then take time to read a book about improving your OOP development or read about design patterns or anything that is of interest to you and be sure to find a quiet place to read about those subjects. At least this will get your mind off of all the programming and typing that you do.
