I agree completely. And if you ask any developer of any language there
will always be some feature/change they would like in there product.

How about some of the Beta testers letting the rest of us know what
they have done with the new features.

>>Finally, to justify this message's presence on this thread, I think that a database password security is an excellent idea. If VFP is going to get the big-ticket contracts, it needs to step up its security. Going to SQL Server is NOT an acceptable option. That defeats the purpose of the native VFP database.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone but I find alot of great new stuff in VFP 6.0 that was not in VFP 5.0. Complaining about what isn't there is non-productive to me unless it is in the form of an enhancement request sent to the development team.

For just about any product Microsoft makes one can find a better example from some other vendor. But MS products are good enough and they all come together in one box so we'll use them.
