Ok, so next time I'll spend a lot more time editing the list before I post it :-). The original list was typed and posted in under 5 minutes so I am sure there are some things that could have been worded better.

But the post has done some of what I intended, it sparked a lot of conversation about those particular issues in VFP. I only wish it had sparked a little more from folks about other areas where they see things being misused or abused instead of arguing about the ones that were listed because they have valid uses (before anything can be misused it must have a use that is acceptable). Seems some folks took my list as some kind of codemnation of the issues and that is not what it was meant to be.

I am interested in what your users have to say, but I don't know that I can design an interface for a hypothetical situation without a full set of requirements and a full understanding of the business enviornment where it will be used.
