Ditto here. On Xbase since the same date and the Fox since 1986. If memory serves me well.

I'll shamelessly admit to it: I lost 2 pages of code to-day. An occasion to have a hand-on test on R-E à la Fox. Not discounting the value of robust V-C control solutions here. But, for sure, that was not the subject of the thread.
