Jacque, is this really true? I've developed a construction/coding style over the years of naming card objects with an underscore ( _coolfield ) and using quotes only for messages ( send "nextMessage" to me in 50 millisecs ) and anything else that *must* be literal ( dynamic object names: field "_cool" & tNum ). I just prefer the appearance of the code -- it's fewer characters and makes the code more readable to me. But if it is true that execution takes longer when referencing object names without quotes, then this would be a good reason to get back into quoting the names.
