Hi James,

VFP 7.0 is not without sin! It can cause a similar effect which not only removes source but fills with "garbage". I understand this is a known bug and will be fixed. I do not know under what circumstances this ugly bug decides to attack but as the boy scout code states "Be Prepared"

By the way another anomolous behavior is showing up while I edit class methods, when I hit the space bar after the first operand of an instruction and intellisence kicks in sometimes I get a bonus of several "garbage" characters before my operator. I can not reliably reproduce this problem so I have not reported it. I am curious however if anyyone else has seen this one.
