Ed...

In very simple terms... you could'nt carry our jock-straps...

Tell you what.... put your money where your mouth is.... If you are getting anywhere close to what a NY consultant gets, $1,000 should be about a days pay... it is for me....

Here is the bet....

You place you horse behind your "unbound" method. I will place my horse behind what VFP gives me for free.

The scenario:

We will do a simple system: Customers, Orders, Lineitems, and an Inventory.

Simple requirements....

Forms can be multi-instance. A user needs to have the ability to make whole sale changes to a set of line-items, and then cancel those changes, bring back what is on disk. A special rule is in place that if somebody made changes while you were editing a record, you need to warn the user that he/she might overwrite another user's changes.... I am sure we can come up with a few more...

Judging criteria:

1. Performance
2. Maintainability
3. UI design

One basic rule:

No frameworks, no prebuilt code.... This is VFP in the RAW!!! The Steel Cage Match....

I am sure we can refine this - add requirements and judging criteria...

I nominate John Koziol to be a judge in this little fiasco... There can be a few others as well.

Ed, $1,000 bucks says this "less-experienced" developer will mop up the Big Apple with what ever you produce..

NOW - step up to the plate and accept the challenge. OR.....knock off with the Russian phrases and personal crap. You want to be personal...fine.. back it up...

You have been served notice...you have been called out.....

Your move...


>>Less experience developers? Do you mean Mr. Booth and his petty friend?
