>>>Looking at this impersonally I cannot agree. One cannot use things if they are broken by OS. That's why I'm a bit disappointed that instead of loud pledges and cries we cannot come up together with a coherent message to MS.

Or perhaps automated answering offering a menu of 99 choices, a sub-menu of 99 choices and a sub-sub-menu of 99 choices. VFP always the last option in each of those and no way to short-cut and enter a number right-away. We'll have to listen to all of the options. <s>
