Ed, thanks for your response. I have similar thoughts.... one thing you said piqued my interest though -- will VFP really have early binding in 7.0? I know we will have some degree of intellisense, but I did not think that that necessarily meant early-binding.
(sorry for the VFP question on this VB board, folks!)
