Hi Mark ----
A showstopper is sometimes the inability of the UT crowd to decipher the post and understand the problem (language barriers). Those questions sometimes go unanswered.

reasonable problems that have been posted here not addressed, if not resolved? Some of the reasons I have seen where a problem was not resolved here were:
>
>[1] documented bug, problem, resolution in MS KB or FAQ;
>[2] something VFP was not designed to do;
>[3] inappropriate hardware;
>[4] confilics with OS or other software [Client32, etc.];
>[5] restrictions imposed by 3rd party back-end [Oracle, SQL Server, etc.];
>[6] illogical or inflexible business rules insisted on by the customer; and,
>[7] developer's skill level.

>Did I miss anything?
