Oh, I understand that one.< bg > Sometimes, however, when I try to save something I'm working on in VFP, the compiler catches something and then I have to spend time tracking it down. In some cases, it's "go back and fix later". In others, it's BFUBOBD (Big F*** Up By One Big Dummy) and I wish that I had known about it earlier. Just a matter of personal taste, I guess.
