Hi Ben,

You are correct. If you have to deal with table structures from another party, you might have to deal with m.

Walter,

>If you are writing the code for your own projects, it is a personal choice whether adding "m." or not. If the code will be used in other programmers' applications (e.g., RI builder, public domain utilities, software sold to programmers), "m." is necessary. No body will be aware of the existence of the variable "lcRemark" in your code when he runs it on a table with exactly the same field name, particularly in tables from FPW apps. I will not be surprised to find a lcRemark field for information of "letter of credit remark". It does not make sense to expect users rename their fields () before using your code.
