Whil and I have known each other for years, and I've always considered him my friend and a valuable resource. However, our opinions do differ from time to time. <s> I'm just wondering what he owes me the beer for...

Barry

Especially for those of us who don't get the chance to talk with folks of other disciplines too often. Especially these days, I think its clearly evident that VFP programmers need to get their feet wet in other areas.

>Also, as far as your comments about the NOLA event being for beginning programmers. I see people here talking all the time about some of the newer technologies, such as Windows Scripting Host, ADO, COM, to name a few, that not that many people are skilled in yet. But the people that are skilled in them, swear by them. So I don't think I should wait till Sept. There are plenty of SQL Server and Web sessions that will keep me very busy.
