Hi Bill,

It's been mentioned here (on UT) a few times and I believe that it was noted in the VFP 7 that variable declarations without comma separation was no longer supported... Need to find out exactly where though...

UPDATE:From VFP7 Help
Behavior Changes since the Previous Version
Bullet 3: Because of new support for IntelliSense and COM server typing (for example, LOCAL cName AS string), the use of a variables list separated by spaces only (for example, LOCAL x y z) is no longer allowed. You must separate variables with commas (for example, LOCAL x, y, z).
