If you succeed, I hope I will have an early opportunity to say "Bravo." In the meantime and as time goes by and more bugs appear, what do you propose for somebody who needs to perform SPT against a VARCHAR(MAX) field that returns C(0) in VFP - apart from using a different product? Chen's solution was to fix the bug and offer it to the community.
>Can we see it all [the complaint to MS] please?
>No.
Why not, if your complaint to MS about something you say you will never use and had forgotten about, was a civic duty to benefit the community?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
