>>>Show him. He's not going to learn programming in a couple of easy lessons so he'll probably quickly change his mind. If it is truly easy, then it's mickey-mouse changes that I would love most of my users to learn to do because I hate making them. These kind of changes are always "I need now" and I have other, *real*, emergencies.

>This guy sounds like he wants to be empowered. I certainly see how he could feel trapped because he doesn't know how the program works. I've got/had clients that I've taught how to write VFP as well as other software. They are still around. Mainly, they wind up using VFP to create simple stuff. It also addds a few more VFP sales. I don't see this as threatening.
Hi John and thanks for your reply....I guess I see things like this as a threat
these days....maybe I should not....:)
