I completely agree. That being said, I think it's important to have coding standards so that future maintenance is easier. I once worked on a project that had been around ten years and no matter where you looked, the coding style was the same. It made it much easier to read. This particular project enforced the coding standard through code reviews, not through automated beautification. Noel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
