I am not privy to anything inside MS. I observed events and came to the conclusion that as head of marketing he selected the product development priorities. He did not implement them, that credit goes to Calvin and other unsung heroes.

>>These are just a few of the credits I give Ken:

>>- He went through developers requests and made priority those that he thought were useful. That's marketing.
>>- WITH (BUFFERING = .T.) This is HUGE
>>- AutoInc field type Very useful
>>- TRY / CATCH I am not saying he invented TRY / CATCH, just that he thought enough of VFP to bring it here.
>>- BindEvent Can do powerful stuff
>>- SCATTER NAME Huge too
>>- He got MS to agree to change it's licensing terms of source code variations. It should have been done before, but he did it.
>>- And many other enhancements that just made sense.
>>
>>That is why Ken has my appreciation and respect and I would give him my vote for lifetime contribution to VFP.
