Hi Renoir,

I agree with you but I can understand adding it if modifications are made to the pre-defined methods also. Not for describing the purpose of the pre-defined method of course but to explain the modifications only. Rather superfuous to say the least. This reminds me of an instance when I was working for the government and a new supervisor required extremely specific weekly activity reports. I barely had any time to get anything done I was spending so much time being specific in those reports! Each entry took more time than the amount of time it took to complete the task itself. We finally decided that our supervisor wasn't knowledgeable in the field so she was attempting to learn by reading our reports!

By the way, should I call you 'Jay' now? :o)


>We are being required to use this type of function comment header and defect change headers for all methods, function, programs, etc. I really don't have a problem using the change headers, but the function comment header seems incredibly superfluous for predefined methods like the Click event of a checkbox. I could see it being used for user-defined methods, but in the Foxpro predefined ones it just seems to be a waste of time. Maybe it's just the way I see it. Any thoughts on this?
