Zaraq,
Xbase has always had a much larger group of peer-to-peer support than any other language I've ever used. If it wasn't for the help I got dealing with the dBASE IV 1.0 bugs on the old ATBBS I'd have dropped the language a long time ago. When I moved to FoxPro I found the same level of support on CompuServe and now here in UT. I've made a great many friends over the years.
Your only obligation now, is to stay around. Ask questions when you need help, and offer help to others that ask questions that you know an answer for. That's what's gotten this community or programmers to where it is today.
>I have been using the Universal Thread forum for the past month. Whenever I have a problem I turn to you guys and my problem is solved. When I sent my first query on this forum I was scared that nobody will answer or worse, you people will think that the query didn't deserved an answer. But I was pleasantly surprised by the encouragement and response from you lot. In a world where people don't take the time to call the police even if they witness a violent crime , you people go out of your way to find time to answer sometimes trivial or ridiculous questions. Even MVP's don't feel it beneath their dignity to answer simpleton questions from novices like me. This had me wondering that there is STILL SOME HOPE LEFT for this selfish world of ours.
>Now it is because of the Universal Thread that has brought the best of our humanity in the open , I want to thank the UT forum by proposing that everytime a developer makes an application in FoxPro , who has benefited from the UT forum in any way , should place a Universal Thread Logo in their application's splash screen or about box , as a token of their appreciation.
>We should give something back for taking so much.
>I would like the Universal Thread SysOps to design such a logo and place it in their download files so we can download it and use it in our developed applications.
>Please respond to this thread by giving suggestions to improve my humble opinion.
>Thank You All
>Zaraq Bari
