Problems Using VFP Beautify...

I tend to use this tool in VFP a good bit - especially since a lot of

the code where I work tends to be REALLY SLOPPY - making it harder to

read.

One of the problems - is that they all make one long code - instead of

making things more procedural. The problem then becomes matching up the

tops and bottoms of loops - when trying to review code and look for a

problem. So - I use Beautify to clean up the Indentation - which then

generally makes it MUCH easier to see Loop structures.

However, the problem I have is that Beautify doesn't always work. So -

even after doing it - I go to the beginning of a Do While - and if I

then scroll directly down in the code - it all generally indents in

farther - then comes back out. Except - instead of an Enddo matching up

with the same indentation - I may find like an Endif.

Anybody know why it doesn't always work right? Is there Bugs in

Beautify?

Thanks,
