Methods and UDFs are not overloaded. However, you can use the same variable names over and over. Use the LOCAL designation to create completely separate variables with the same name, but different visibilities.
PRIVATE variables hide a reused name from a calling procedure.
Common mistake is:

PROCEDURE TestX
FOR x = 1 TO 10
   NextText()
   ? m.x
ENDFOR

PROCEDURE NextText
* Should be -> LOCAL x
FOR x = 10 TO 20
   ? m.x
ENDFOR

>There is no SQL or views, It is all seek, locate, scatter-gather @say-@get and the like. It is straight out of FPW/FPD, but uses VFP6 runtime. Fox doesn't do overloading, or does it?
