I say this because in 2.x if you created a when or valid clause as a procedure GENSCRN would assign the procedure name in a manner similar to what you have posted as the title. Each time the screen was re-compiled, the name would change. Mind you, this is a guess on my part, but I think a good one because I've never seen objects described as this in any version of VFP beginning with 5.0.

Dragan,

You're quite right here. I'd completely forgotten about the menu snippets, probably because I don't use them because of problems back in 2.x with them.

As for the cursors, you're right again, my friend. However, it was my impression that what was being seen was actual code rather than values. This led to me to think that it may be stuff that was ported from 2.x.

As for your "unholy campaign"< s >, I wouldn't worry about it. It'd break too much backward compatibility.

Hey, I see you got a new job. Congrats.
