You're probably right Lisa. I'm just going by what was printed in the VFP3 Codebook book. I knew it was invented by Charles Simonyi, but not exactly when.

That makes sense. Although, somewhere out there in the net, I read an article about Hungarian notation during my rummaging that also said that the 'T' stood for 'Temporary'. YAG is around here somewhere. If anyone knows, it'll be he. He's probably sitting back grinning and enjoying the mystery. ;)

By the way. It's been a very long time since I've seen your name attached to a post. Nice to see it again.
