>>Hi James,

>>Well then, why is this not in the documentation?! It is very important to know this, isn't it. I can say I'm a really experienced vfp developer, doing vfp since 1990. But this has never been told or explained to me, nowhere, not in the docs, not in the Hackers guide. 'By-design' may be what has been told to you, but to me that sounds like a rationalisation, to hide the real reason: a design flaw or simply a blind spot for this when implementing it, in both cases a flaw they somehow didn't want to repair.

This design flaw wasn't introduced with vfp sp2, I assume. Nobody saw this? Nobody told them? If that's the case, then I understand. But if it was told and if they replied it was by design, then my argument is strong.
