>I had some experience with this when it was still in the VFP 3.0 or 5.0 version. To be polite, I wasn't impressed. When you look at the table structures, I think it will be easier to understand if you do not assume the person who wrote it knew what they were doing :-) I don't know if it got better in later versions, but what I saw was a mess, and ran slower than I have ever seen a fox program of any kind run.

Hi Charles,

I'm not sure which VFP version this program is currently written in (do you know how can I find it out?). The users complain about it being slow. I looked into some tables structures and I agree that the naming convention is far from intuitive.

Two things I like, though - the ToDo list which looked like VFP Task Pane application and a menu on the left side where when you mouse over it each item has its own color (I'm not sure what controls were used for this kind of menu).

BTW, it's interesting that for the first time looking at this application I thought, how nice it would be to be able to select multiple records in a grid and copy/paste them (Excel like style). Not sure if somebody here already created such grid enhancement class...

It's funny because this thought never occurred to me before for my own applications. But now, as a user, I suddenly found a need for such functionality...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
