>I've had a good look at Linq and quite like it... but why laugh?

At the OP's attitude, the general tone of his post and, that his message suggests that news of LINQ in the next version of VS is something "new" to VFP developers; something most "aware" developers have known about for quite some time now.

Now LINQ technology, I like, particularly when used with memory based collections and XML - something that the OP appears not to rate with his "but still ..." comment :)

Is this all OK with you JR? <bg>
