No because the record {a,b} may also be defined in another module and you need to tell which one to use. However, you can put the qualification only once : let y = {Foo.a=3; b=4} Of course, if [Foo] name is long, you can alias it at the beginning of your code : module F = Very.Long.Module.Name Cheers, ChriS
