>Can I relate! I've been developing in the different versions of VFP since 1984 and started developing in Delphi (at the same time) almost a year ago. Since I work regularly in both languages, I still have to go back into Delphi and add the semicolon at the end of the lines! It is a continuous frustration-I seem to alwyas use both styles of syntax in each language! One day I'll be able to separate the two subconsciously I hope (I know, I'm dreaming!).

Tracy,

Probably, you're not dreaming. After some more time (and this may be the case already), you'll find that you make those kind of mistakes less and less. Sure, they'll still happen once in awhile, but I think that you'll find that the frequency drops. The problem is that when you do do it, it seems like a biggger deal.
