>(1) Create a clever GUI based on a class heirachy emphasing the reuseability of its components and how hanges can be propagated through all instances by making a change in only one place.

>(3) Create data environment objects subclassed from a base data environment class that has all kinds of cool functionality.

>(4) Show how to run stored procedures using the "CALL" syntax (faster than EXECUTE) with only one line of code.
>
>(5) Do some local data maniputation stuff like setting relations, indexing, filtering, etc.
>
>(6) Show how to create update parameters on the fly for your update stored procedures and integrate them into your base cursor class.
>
>(7) Show an XML class for creating XML strings that also also creates hierarchical XML from tables engaged in a relation.
>
>(8) Show them how robust VFP data can be on a LAN and how they can potentially save their customers a lot of money by avoiding SQL Server.
