Jeff:

Very interesting idea on that counter-class suit or whatever it would be called. Again, though, even if this suit is over VFP3's lack of rollover common freaking sense dictates that you are going to develop within the limitations imposed by the language. And it also sounds to me like a suit of this nature ("Help me! I'm an idiot developer!") could be extended to virtually every other development language when you think about it.
