Carl, you're welcome-good luck with picking up Oracle.
I stick with my opinion that Developer/2000 is a terrible product that you shouldn't waste time learning. VFP (with views mapped to Oracle tables) is much much much better as a front-end and not nearly as expensive to implement. In addition you can get help with VFP, but with Oracle it costs and the quality of help has been spotty.
