I used to think that too, but as Jim pointed out, that's what the 'm.' is for. Once you get into the habit of explicitly pointing to what you want - ie - always using alias.field and m.variable, not only will your code become more readable, but Fox will no longer have to guess what you mean, and it will begin to feel more natural.

Like I said, I had the same argument you do once upon a time, but I've since changed my mind.
