Thanks, Tom.
It seems curious that those who were so beligerent about dotNET's fabulous data handling and how VFP had nothing to teach dotNET, are suddenly silent. As are those who could use this article to "pay them back in their own coin".
"... 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
