Hello all,

Anyone seen this one:

I have a field in a table named cf_text. I SCATTER NAME lorecord to make an object for a record.

x=lorecord.cf_text --generates a syntax error when the code is run, but not from the command window.

x=lorecord.cf_text -- generates an error when trying to save the code, but

with lorecord
x= .cf_text
endwith
--does not generate a syntax error when the code is saved.


If I change it to .cf_Ctext everything is fine, so I assume it's choking because _Text is a reserved word. I can't imagine that the reserved word restrictions are intended to restrict using them in any part of a word.

Anyone seen this before? (VFP7.0)
