Gee, Josh, we are sensitive now, aren't we.

Frankly, after this discussion, I feel justified in using any descriptive I choose, so long as its not rude or *truly* offensive. And sheep surely isn't offensive while it does suit the impression I've developed - that people are very happy waiting for MS to do whatever MS chooses to do regardless of what they really need and want. That people are happy to use ever more different "tools" in ever growing complexity to meet ever more important (read: production-class) applications. When it all gets out of hand, *I* can at least say I tried.

Cheers and regards

>I take offense at being called a sheep! I just disagree with you on whether MS should make a VFP data server. I'm the first to point out how pathetic the VFP report writer and grid are. I complain as much about Microsoft as almost anyone. I think we just disagree about this one feature. This is one reason we often don't get what we want. We all want different things.
