>ahhhhh.... Patrick Meader is the editor and chief of VBPJ... Visual Basic Programmer's Journal

Thanks. I also didn't care too much for his junior varsity remark about Fox, although I suppose just hearing a VB guy say the word "FoxPro" is a step in the right direction. I don't think anyone outside MS knows at this point whether VFP will participate in the CRL or not. There was some interesting speculation about this in the thread David Stevenson started last week.
