Kevin,

I will always be a MM user, even if I am not using it in our main development environment. I recently wrote an application that creates and parses some extremely complex XML documents for an EDI application using the MM framework and Web Connection. It made sense to do it in VFP becuase the tools were there to simply start rocking and rolling. The main transaction app, however, will be rewritten in VB.

BTW, because of the recent changes in our company, I will not be going to DEVCON. Instead, the company will be sending me out for VB training <g>. Wish I could be there, but I'm sure I'll here all the buzz from friends and colleauges.

Best,

Jim Weil
