Well, Jim, I took a bit of time to check this out. I omitted anything that has been requested since the release of VS to MSDN Universal subscribers. Here's what I came up with, besides the _Access/_Assign and Bruce's request: Native scrooll bars in forms, data session class (SP3), better ADO, multi-threaded DLLs (SP3), EXE Information (via AGETFILEVERSION()), better support of JPGs, GIFs, etc., and better ActiveX support.

I must admit that I didn't check out every wish. Some, in fact, simply asked for stuff that already existed. I think it's sufficient, however, to say that, given the above list, what made it in there was more than two or three things.

The point here is, that if you think that no body cares or no body listens, go right ahead. In view of the recent SP, I think it's a pretty fair statement that MS is listening and does care. However, if you choose not to add any items to the Wish List, fine. Just don't gripe about what doesn't make it into the next SP or release. You really won't be in any position to do so, since you haven't let your wishes be known.

Have a nice day,
George
