SEX = Syntactically Explicit Xbase

Jos, Graig and John have done some really exciting things with VFP. I am looking at their stuff with an eyeto borrow some ideas. Their use of graphics is simply amazing. I do bean counters (mostly), and the challenge of spicing up my interface designs with their very approaches is something I look forward to.

For my confessions of a "SEX Addict", please review this sample bibleography at (sneak preview VFP powered internet app at bottom) :

I looked for that article in the UT Magazine (that I thought was a sexy VFP app) by Sam Robbins (we don't get as many VFP apps as we used to there, last monts had 6 or 7 NOT articles and 1 (maybe) VFP Article. I don't subscribe to UT magazine - so I couldn't pull the article. When the magazine was free (and had more VFP articles) at least we show prospects what was being done. Now - those prospects when routed to the UT magazine get an an S-Load od NOT stuff - go figure!

I have to say something about Les Pinters artice warning us of impending doom if we do not specialize. Les - your article (at least the teaser) is contrary to common sense and logic. The more generalized one is the better the chance to survive. So, if one makes a living by feeding from the buffets at Redmond (a specialization), when the shrimp tub is cut-off - and one has to rotate back to the real world - and actually work for a living - the chances of survival are reduced. Read your Darwin man!
