You seem to have a comprehension problem, John. I read what I said over and over, and nowhere do I see words to justify your accusation that I said ADO is bad because we lose SCAN.

Let me explain again: I said that it is very fair for VFP people to wonder why, according to a message posted by you, reverting to DO...WHILE in an engine based on FP is a good thing.

I also asked you a technical question. The point was to give you the opportunity to explain the whole issue recast as an ADO issue.

You replied with another pointless DO..WHILE Vs SCAN example and some sarcasm.

Let me tell you something, John. I tried not to come wading in here shooting down people, including you, who made these comparisons. I gave you the chance to come back with a technical response, explaining why DO...WHILE Vs SCAN is a pointless example, since the classical uses of those in VFP are handled other ways in ADO.

Remarkably, you amplified the issue.

Now your only interest seem to be to prove you are right and I am wrong with as much spite as you can muster.

As of now, I shall not be responding to your ad hominam messages, simply because I don't have time and I don't enough emotional investment in a "win" in this forum. FYI I have been using ADO for over a year, including JADO in Java, and may well have some insights in areas you don't, exactly as you may have some in areas I don't.

If we can't be polite and respectful to each other, I guess we'll never know.

Regards
