>So where do we stand now? How does this involve my wish? I want more Relational behavour in the product, but to me you're saying, you cannot have it because Fox will never be relational. It does not make sense to me.

My objection to your wish is the implementation you are proposing, that being that VFP provide the data by using its xBase syntax under the hood. I would rather see VFP improve in its support of the standard relational language, that being SQL. I would love to see a full implementaiton of SQL in VFP including the entire ANSI 92 standard.
