I understand what you're saying, Bryan, but I'm the only one reading the code and the FG, C, and E are perfectly clear to me, so that won't matter...however, yours would be a better practice in a group setting...better yet, if you're going to use 6 characters as an alias, is to go ahead and use the entire table name...no ambiguity whatsover...
