>If one follows the basic rule NEVER to use reserved words for variables, you will not come in the situation you describe.

I agree, but you can apply this rule ?

Example:
if on VFP6/7/8 i can write:

IsTransactAble= .F.

but i cannot write this into VFP9.

Consequently, to pass to VFP9 involves the breach of the rule.
