Hi Gregg,
Well... you are a programmer and a capable writer, right?

>>A lot of times it is simply because Access is an easier sell as it is a part of the Office Suite. I seem to recall being told some time back that there were indeed measurements taken and compensation paid withing Microsoft based on sales volumes. Don't know for sure if that's a fact but it seems reasonable that this is the case. So, would you rather sell a product that is easier to sell as it is 'bundled' and provides you with more totla gross dollar 'points' or one that requires a higher level of technical expertise to support?

The programmers I talked with were really feeling the need for a product with abilities between those of Access and SQL Server. Somebody ought to send an introductory VFP article to some of their PC magazines in Australia. I bet it would get published.
