Hi Mike,

I have been a member for some time but tend to "jump in" and out depending upon what I am working on. Sometimes it is a lot of VFP programming and othertimes other projects for customers. I enjoy the VFP stuff the most though. I also don't tend too answer a lot of other postings - not that I shouldn't but it's hard to squeek out time between coding for customers and a busy home life etc. In fact, only if I am asking a question for a customer do I get online.

The software on my site (I presume you are referring to hstat.com) is pretty old, old technolgy. Written in FPW2.6 about 8 years ago for the OHL and WHL and now used by many leagues. But the market is not there to spend months rewriting everything into VFP - revenue does not support me taking that amount of time to rewrite.

Anyhow, gotta go.

Albert

>>>I agree with you and your approach. If it was such a hard and fast rule that option buttons should be only vertical, one should never change a button's background color, etc, etc. then why does MS give us the option to "break" them. For a long time we VFPers could not change a button's background color while the VB developers could. Suddenly (in VFP8?) we are given a button background color property. Why? I'm not complaining. I'm glad they did it.
