A word of caution (was - RE: HTML into filePro processing tables--the EASY way!)

I have found cases where people use ***SOME TEXT GOES HERE***
to mark/block areas on their forms/reports.  Instead of getting
the ***SOME they get something else, say something like **Y ME.  

In case you wonder how this is possible, it is because dummy
variable SO is defined and its content will try to print.  I 
find this very amusing and love the reaction when I fix it; I 
always get the "he have that s@#@t for years and Joe Blow could 
never figure out why".

Like this, I am sure there are tons of little "I can't believe
I did that!" but this is one I come across all the time.

Regards;
