>I am so glad that you found them useful. the one thing that Andy and I hate about code samples (in books, articles or conference sessions) is that so many of them are irrelevant when it comes to solving any kind of real world problem - you know what I mean: o = createobject('foo'). We tried our best to make our code samples "project ready". As a matter of fact, we have encountered several projects with class libraries named "CH05" LOL!!!!

I remember running across a couple dBase III programs littered with "LISA=.T. DO WHILE LISA" loops which were based on the code samples. Hopefully Lisa got some royalties LOL.

But I am guilty of that too - our inhouse QMS software started off using an application framework I got as part of MEI training and....it is still that way.
