Ah yes. But that's another story isn't it? I suppose there have been several threads here discussing the demise of VFP. Another in a long line of MS blunders (imho) and one that has me looking more and more at alternatives to MS products. I am hoping that the VFP community will pick it up and keep it going for a very long time.
