Tony: you may have seen Tom OHare's response to my comment above - as Tom pointed out to me, there is already a "Bugs and Features" page here in the UT. Nonetheless, I share - as I am sure we all do - your concerns relative to the fact that the Fox is the source of our "Welfare" and it is sometimes quite challenging enough to accomplish a particular result without also contending with MS "did you find our deliberate mistakes today..." policy towards incompletion of development resulting from the "Rush_To_Market" mentallity behind satisfying the stock markets expectations for continual nirvana in M$ stock heaven; after all Mr. Bill has to make a living too you know!!!! Herein lies the real source of our working with a moving target. The good news may be that this ironically also makes our services worth all the more as this possibly tends towards keeping the "amateur dabblers" (ie: out-of-work engineers and others of similar ilk who suddenly become "FoxPro consultants" while really looking for another job) away from our real bread and butter opportunities. :) /psb.
