>>Answer me this please. I know it is ill-advised to use reserved words as functions and variables, but what are the consequences of say creating a procedure called 'refresh' or declaring 'isreadonly' as a private variable? I ask because I am trying to find the anomalies in an application delivered by others. The developer is a FPD/FPW hardcore (all SAY and GET, 200+ *.prgs and all free tables), but he put the program on VFP runtime. I want to find out if the quirks I am seeing are related to the inappropriate use of reserved words.

To all,

I know it is not right. Before I go to the developer and tell him that I think this is the problem, I'd like to know some specifics. He has good problem solving routines, but just can't grasp visual programming and the wonders of the VFP environment.
