Jim,

>I feel it *could* make a huge difference. For instance, we could collectively put more meat on the bones. One liners (as many of them appear in the UT Wish List) would, of necessity during discussion, be expanded and excerpts from those dialogues could consitiue additional substance for the wish.

This could be a very useful feature of publicly started ER threads here in the UT. Someone posts an ER and it could develop with the input of other ideas.

>There each area of IBM was hit with individual lists and they committed to reply to each. They made no "promises" (or, actually, only rarely did) on any issue, but much of what was asked for was eventually incorporated. They also did something to remove (formally) some issues, giving reasons when doing so.

It would be enlightening to everyone if with each release of VFP if Microsoft published some kind of list of ERs that made it into this release. I'd wager there's more stuff that makes it into the product from ERs than you think.

> And I have already related how one (and one only) got a positive response, yet nothing even close was delivered!

Patience Jim, neither Rome nor VFP was built in a day. *s*
