>To me "lines of code" sort of meant something with COBOL, RPG, FORTRAN, Assembler, etc. But when you are working with a RAD and have screen formatters, report generators, etc. it can be really off base. On my old FPW2.6 code where I coded all the SAYs and GETs it's somewhat meaningful (I guess) but only for my own personal use as a guesstimate on how much the app as grown/shrunk. Sometimes I redo things and the number of lines drops significantly yet the functionality remains the same. So, there you go, the yardstick just became inaccurate.
I am not sure whether you saw my previous comment on this: changing the VFP RI-Builder to TaxRI will reduce the amount of RI-Code by a factor of 10. Here, I instantly "lost" perhaps 10,000 lines of code for a database with ca. 60 tables.
