John,
Your (apparent) arrogance is astounding. "It is far more expedient to state what you plan to use the product for, and then let the advice follow."

If I tell you that I am thinking of using VFP to develop reiterative discounted cash flow models for the international treasury middle office of one of the worlds largest investment banks - how does your knowing the context in which I might want to use VFP help you to answer the question?

Presumably you know everything!
Best regards,
Houston.

>What good does it do for me to say what we do with it unless the guy says what he is going to do with it. I see part of your point. However, I find it annoying when folks ask these sorts of questions yet offer nothing for folks to chew on with respect to the answer. In other words, how others use it is irrelevant. It is far more expedient to state what you plan to use the product for, and then let the advice follow.
