Funny; if anything, my response is likely to help make it a virtual certainty that I won't. MVP status isn't granted on the basis of being an MS supporter; its a recognition given to someone for being consistently helpful and correct when providing help to other people in the on-line community.

I think Richard Felcher, who I finally ran into here at DevCon, is by far a better and more likely MVP candidate than I'd be! I'm too easily annoyed by people whining and complaining without doing something positive.

I don't know, Jim; if I felt that I couldn't do what needed to be done with a product and that the vendor wasn't willing to work with me, I'd change to something else where the vendor was more interested in my input. Fortunately, with VFP, I don't have that particular problem.
