Thanks for the heads up. I had never heard anything resembling what Robin mentioned, my relating your post to his was merely conjecture.

As for COMPILE in the runtime, this is awesome. I guess this will eventually make all of Randy Pearson's efforts with CodeBlock obsolete. I remember your demonstration at DevCon showing how to modify server source code on the browser through the client, and I had even played around with similar logic, but never actually went anywhere with it because I didn't want to run into a wall with CodeBlock.

I don't guess you are allowed to get any more specific with a timeline for this release? Need any beta testers? <BG>


>Just to clarify, the next interum release of VFP will allow the COMPILE command to be used at runtime, so you can do a STRTOFILE() then COMPILE within an APP, EXE, DLL, or with the new MTDLL (multi-threaded DLL). This has nothing to do with macro substition and nothing to do with VFP objects. If you or Robin would like to see behavior beyond this related to dynamic code, etc. in a future version of VFP, just send e-mail to foxwish@microsoft.com.

>>Just FYI- Ken Levy poked his head in here yesterday and mentioned that the next interim release of VFP will come with the abillity to issue COMPILE at runtime. My guess is that the dynamic methods you speak of will be made possible by this.
