Hiya Brian

How's things? Drop me a line sometime!

>The point I’m trying to make is that adopting an obscure language from a 3rd party vendor might not be such a bright idea. FoxPro itself is fairly obscure language ( no where near the mainstream ) and its always been behind the technology power curve.
>Examples, It took us what 5 years or so to get intellisenese and then what another 2 to get it strait. But then again you may be right. We FoxPro developers seam to be gluttons for punishment.

Especially those who say things like "go learn .Net" around here. ;)
