@ANDRE
I have all read the DOC you give to me, and learning several things
In fact, like usually i not do like we must do
Since the begining i ALWAYS used the more simple
Just when i'm forced, but very rarely
And NEVER i use NAMESPACES i have forgotten this function

And i know it's not good, but i always mixed all the constants
All my hundreds littles or even bigs codes is like this
Because i always believe "EnumerationValue" is do for that
It's not good, but the advantage is that never i have collisions with this system
But i understand that on a monstruous code of numerous thousands lines, it's perhaps not a good idea

But now with all the explains of my forum friends i have much learning, and sure i change my way to enumerate my futurs codes
But the code i modify is not mine, so the problem is not the same

Hello

EnableExplicit ; <= my favorite command!!

I hate it, never i use it
Sometime i regret....after one hour lost
But with this...i have always notifications and MsgBox on running ..and i have already enough REAL errors with my cow pats codes

Waouhhh !! you too, you need to know the list of constants used ?
Your TIP is cool, i try to remmeber it
Thanks

well, I completely understand that. And I accept it anyway. I know it's difficult to insert it retrospectively.
That's why it's one of my first commands, so to speak. And it has already saved me quite a bit of time when it comes to spelling mistakes.

That's why I use prefixes (like #WND_ or #GDT_ and alot more), and the autocomplete window then shows me the right group....

I call my style defensive programming.
What I mean by that is: changes in one place must not lead to errors in another place. (Difficult to explain briefly.)

It's justly that the more hard thing to do mainly if it's not your code
