Mike, I couldn't agree with your comments more. You've addressed lots of issues very well. I'm with you on the ActiveX support and making the products play better together. The VFP team seems to be addressing these, albeit at a pace that may seem a little slow to some (like me). However, I do believe as integration work gets into full swing that VFP will eventually keep pace with the other tools in ActiveX/COM support.
