Hi Colin ---

Let me return the compliment. Well put. People outside of our "lunatic fringe" group know nothing, let me repeat, NOTHING about VFP. Now, to me, that's a severe marketing failure unless it's intentional. IF I were the head of VS for MS and my mission was to popularize and gain market share for *all* VS tools, I would have the VFP guys head on a platter...so, what may one conclude? It has to be intentional because *no one* is that incompetent of a marketer.
