Mike,
Thanks!
This kind of stuff drives me nuts at times. <g>
One other thing I'd really like to see from Microsoft (hint hint <g>) would be a book that would contain a chapter of each of the Microsoft product line. In each chapter would be a reference and example on how to call each of the other Microsoft product's objects.
So, from the MS Word chapter you could find out how to call the Excel, VB, VFP, etc objects. In the VFP chapter you could find out how to call MS Word, Excel, VB, etc, and so on.
Now, I am aware that Calvin, with his IOS (Intellisense On Steroids <g>) stuff in VFP 7.0 that we'll take a huge leap in the direction I suggest. Still, it would sure be nice to be able to get a printed copy...
Best,
DD
