Actually Wayne, when I originally posted my thread, I wasn't referring to just replicating the app with VFP. Specifically, I want peoples opinions regarding the "Executants and Emissaries" methodology that the article presents and how this could be adopted within VFP. I personally like this methodology. You opinion?
