Hello Charlie

That sounds like a great idea if I wasn't so swamped. Between work and a new baby at home, I hardly have time to turn around. I was thinking about the folks who already have some beginning type articles written. I'd be glad to provide them with the addresses of some of the Australian magazines who publish programming related articles. Say hello to Chris for me

>>>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?

>>Well VFP is often sold bundled with Visual Studio so I'm sure there are copies of it sitting around down there. 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.
