Hello to all, I've been a lurker for some time now and this is my first post. I just wanted to say this is a relief to know I'm not the only one that can't read my own code. I've written code before and then several months later, at the request of the customer, I would have to go back and change some things and it would take a while to figure out what in the world I had written. Some programmers may say that it's a waste of time to document but I wish I had documented more. I learned my lesson. :-) Tonya > > The very first time when you encounter this you will recognise that > comments and documentation are not at all a waste of time but pure > necessity.
