>>In all the years I've been involved with MaxFrame I've looked at much if not all of its code. I've also submitted many enhancements and ideas to Drew. I have no idea what you are referring to here. Every piece of code submitted to Drew is subjected to a process affectionately called Drewizing <g>. He gets the general idea of the submitted code and redoes the code. He gives credit to the originator in the comments of the class/method/prg. Maybe you can provide an example of inconsistency? It would be preferable to show one that makes it difficult to debug, of couse. IMO the code is VERY consistent, but consistency like EVERYTHING is in the eye of the beholder.

But, as an example (and maybe it's just me), but it bothers me to read code that changes case. I find it very distracting and harder to follow. This is partially the inconsistancy I'm talking about. The same thing goes for spacing, whitespace, and indentation of code.

An app I started to work on last year is in lowercase and I've continued to use lowercase even though, at this point, I can change the company standard to anything I'd like. Yeah, maybe I'm just anal about these sorts of things ;-)

Hi Paul,

I guess, it all fails into the category of personal preference, but I always dislike different casing and non-accurate using of variable names. In all of my applications I use lower case for VFP words, always use full word (no sele or create), always declare each local variable as local and always try to follow MS standard in addition to giving meangful names. We're using our own small and buggy framework, but unfortunately I'm not responsible for its code updates. I made lots of suggestions, but only few of them were implemented...
