Wow, that syntax still works in VFP 9.   

Table->field   
Object->property   
Object->method()   

However, the . is so much easier to use, intellisense works on it, why go
back?

I *know* it was valid. My only question was whether it pre-dated Clipper. I
suspect so, because Clipper, like Fox, was originally just a compiler for
dBase. Right, fellow old fogies?
