Are you trying to get me back into a c# state of mind? ;-)

With Calvin and Aleksy on the VB team, keep your eyes open for lots of things we do in VFP that make their way into VB. Paul Yuck, the lead PM and Paul Vick, the Calvin of the VB team are pretty bright and understand VFP pretty darn well.

>>No, Calvin is not an ordinary developer. But he made an unconventional choice way back when, coming out of MIT, and that choice has served him well. All I'm saying is follow your instincts. "This above all, to thine own self be true...."
