LOL

BTW, my mom sent me some Patriots gloves for Christmas. She doesn't keep up with sports and we never talk about sports so she didn't realize how much I dislike the Patriots ;-) (I just said thanks). Would you like the gloves?

>>>The Fox Team does have a test harness and runs a ton of automated tests on every build. However, "Visual" things have always been difficult to test, hence, the lack of testing of the report writer. Someone has to actually look at the generated report and "see" if it looks okay. And when the testers aren't that experienced with the report writer to begin with .. they don't really know what they're looking for.

>>>Charles .. I like your terminology ... "Tricked out". VFP .. with some chrome headers, a hood scoop, 22" rims, a sick paint job, and it's sweeeeeet! < g >
