Someone else posted that they talked to Robert at TechEd and he was already working on it.

>2) Why hasn't Mr. Green posted such stuff HERE???

If Robert posts anything about it, it will be on the VFP page.

I have no more or no less clout with Robert than anyone else, with the exception of maybe his wife.

It is for the feeling that we are becoming self prophesying. If we keep complaining about things that VFP doesn't have, then new VFP users that find their way here will read the messages and move to another product. I for one am very tired of hearing the doom and gloom stuff. As I've said before, let's quit complaining about what VFP doesn't have and get to work using what it does have.

>>You are helping to bring about VFPs death by posting messages like this. Obviously you didn't hear about Robert Green's response to the MCSD requirements. He is already talking to the MCSD people about it.
