Hi Albert,

Thanks for the feedback!

Another good news if ever you wish to use FoxInCloud some day: FoxInCloud supports modal forms returning collections. Though I share your preference for isolated, private datasession, FoxInCloud also supports forms working in other form's datasession and/or global datasession.

Collections (aka 'associative arrays', enumerable, etc., etc.) are very common in 'modern' languages like php or JavaScript and, like you, I tend to like them more and more, except at debug time with VFP because you can't see anything in the 'locals' window.

Otherwise, Collections allow you to encapsulate data and related custom methods in a single place.

I plan to create a collection wrapper around an array to emulate the JavaScript methods .join(), .map(), .detect(), etc.
