>>Hi Dan,

>>Thanks for the URL. After having read the article, I get the feeling that this is a "nuisance" suit. The article states she's a developer, but, I think, that any developer with any sort of experience behind them, would know better than to initiate such a lawsuit, because its groundless. I guess that she's hoping that MS will throw some money at her to settle out of court.

Hi Colin,

Or not using ROLLOVER in VFP? I get the feeling that, if she's the one who developed the forms, she's asking MS to fix them for her. I don't think that's winnable. If I go out and develop something stupidly, why should I be able to sue the company (demanding, BTW, that they issue a patch) to override my stupidity. I'm not saying that this is what she did or is doing, but it sure is awfully close.
