If I were dealing with a language that only allowed 1 character variables, I would most certainly agree that a should not represent A, or vice versa. However, we aren't talking about such a language. I think it is just a pain, that if I use 'intLargestNumberFoundSoFar', and later I refer to it as 'intLargestNumberForsoFar', that JScript says...oh, a new variable. VBScript looks at it and says, oh, I know what you mean. To me it is just intuitive. 'Seperating' your variables by case is a bad methodology. Of course that's just my opinion.

If you think a = A then you got bigger problems than the immediate solution you're looking for, IMO :-) -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan Sent: February 4, 2003 8:18 PM To: Drew Wutka; accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] .net > <rant> > Personally I wish JavaScript (similar to Java...sorta...) would be wiped > from the face of the planet! <VBG> > > I've used both JavaScript and VBScript on some of our intranet sites (I try > desperately not to use scripting on Internet sites....).

My host uses Apache on *nix and so is of course case sensitive for filenames.
