Ken,
While I agree that it IS possible that default properties may hide
programming errors, they are far from uncommon. Language such as c++
implement them as well, though they are sometimes referred to as "default
indexers" or "default indexed property".
For something as commonly used as the RecordSet object, I see no harm is
using the well-known and well-loved default property to access field values.
I personally don't see how someone could be "tripped up" if they RTFM. :-)
