FRIENDS !! Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate it.
I decided to post/ask my query because in the past 3 months I've also had some major issues. I cannot identify the cause and I'll briefly describe it here.
I have a form with a grid. The controlsource is a free standing table. (Clients table called Windebs) The form has a command group with several buttons. Example, "Show Transactions" The click event has code such as lcclient=clcode select * from winhst where client=lcclient into curs temp
I end up with an error "variable clcode not found"
It is as though the underlying table is no longer Windebs, which is nuts because I did not "select" another table anywhere. Now, I've seen similar behavior when Anti virus software is locking the tables, or extremely slow network connections, but it just started happening about 3 months ago, and only with "some" customers. At one time I thought it was only on XP pc's but that theory is also disproved.
At this stage I'm slowly trawling through my code and changing Click events to
sele windebs lcclient=clcode select * from winhst where client=lcclient in to curs temp

For strongly-typed languages in modern development tools why would you use it?
Because it is much shorter. Suppose I have an array of client data.I might use: sClient size of clients array cClient how many clients xClient index into array
Makes sense for VFP probably.
I have never used it much in VFP. I do not have the name collision Ido in other languages.
Sincerely,
