John,

You're gonna make a heck of a lawyer. I continually shake my head at your ability to read the actual words of what is written rather than the meaning of what was written. I suggest you go back and read several postings with this in mind. You should also give Robert Green or Randy Brown a call and ask about these requests. You'll find I'm right.

>Often requested implies that a preponderance of developers ask for this sort of thing. Also, in your case, what you are looking for is something that bascially does the same thing as macro-substitution.
>
>The fact is, most VFP developers will tell you that macro-substitution is one of those "key" features that separates VFP from other tools. Are there some developers who would not mind dropping macro-substitution. Sure - as long as you could retain most of the functionality. In other words, they want their cake and the ability to eat it as well.

>Craig is incorrect in that it is often requested that Macro Substitution be dropped.
