To each his own, Mike.< s > Maybe if I tell you why I fell in love with it, you might understand where I'm coming from.

When I went back to college in the late 1980s to study computer science, in my first "Programming Principles" class we were told if we didn't do exactly what the QB and later VB editor does in terms of spacing code out, we'd get the assignment back with a big red "Do Over!" on it. The professor also told us that this had (and has) the purpose of making the code easier to read. Further, he said, "If it ain't readable, it ain't maintainable." In my experience, he's absolutely correct. As my buddy, Ed, might say, "YMMV".

To this day, I adhere to the practices I learned then. The QB/VB editor just makes it easy to apply.
