Well, think about it a little. On the command line the object is actually created. In code that's not the case. It would surely be nice to have, and perhaps we'll see it in a future version and in VFP7 you could check the syntax in the command window, but I'd think that it would be fairly tricky to do in an editing window.

I'd agree with this.

You know, I think there's an outside chance we could get this in a future version. You'd probably need some sort of compiler directive that would be on the order of SET MACRO SUBSTITUTION ON/OFF where the compiler could check to see if you're using '&' or other p-code-dependent type commands. That and making sure that all variables and their types were pre-declared ....
