No, i chose VFP because of all the munging of the data. It's the same reason dot net will be getting VFP's data handling abilities some time in the next 24 months via LINQ. Had I done it in dot net, it would have taken much longer and would have had more links in the chain. Admittedly, I am much better at VFP than dot net, but I am literate in both and would have used dot net if I felt it fit the situation better.
