John,

Then, like a few others of us around here, you had better put on some asbestos underwear, becuase thinking for ones self is almost taboo here!

I also presume that you are getting ready to look at alternatives to VFP because further work on VFP's mid-tier positioning precludes any work on those aspects of VFP which make for better "monolithic" apps. Soon other products will have user-attractive (and developer attractive too) bells and whistles while VFP languishes with what it has today.

Cheers,
