>According to the FAQ that Nadya pointed to, macro substitutions are NOT compiled (tokenized), whereas name expressions are. So his statement that there is a difference when compiled is true (unless the FAQ is wrong).

Macro expressions are evaluated at runtime, as are named expressions and EVAL() expressions. That wasn't the point. The point was the assertion that you can do macro expansion in VCX and then came up with a wild speculation as to why. The trouble I have with that post is that would have taken 5 minutes to see if macros _can_ be used in VCXs which they can. It was lazy. The worst kind of laziness I most despise in myself.
