>>Hmmmm ... guess you must have mis-read something somewhere. It's so easy to add extra columns to a Typed DataSet. You add it to the .xsd and re-generate the Typed DataSet. What could be easier? =)
This isn't about whether it is easy or hard to add a column. It is "so easy" to add a column to a RV as well. I was just pointing out that this was regarded as a major RV disadvantage compared to SPT. Did you ever use RVs in VFP?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
