>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.

What bit me with reserved words was reserved words (ones that were not reserved when the table was created, but became so with later revs) as field names with views. Sometimes I got some pretty spectacular crashes. I find that even web connection uses some reserved words in it, and things work just fine. They do however make your casing look strange when using beautify.
