>>Camel case is WONDERFUL in code. Haven't had any success in camel case in the table itself!!!

>Unfortunately that's not possible, and I don't see it coming in VFP7 either. I imagine there are fundatmental reasons why it's important to keep it the way it is -- probably to preserve VFP's insensitivity to case in code -- but it's weird that, for example, field names are forced to lower case in the table designer yet are actually stored in upper case in the table header. And while you can enter index names in mixed case in the table designer, they revert to upper case at some point (I haven't figured out exactly when, but they do).

I absolutely agree. It also would be great to have abiluity assign few values for Properties, like we have for non custom properties, e.g. True/False, 0/1/2, etc.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
