>Is there any way to help the VFP team see the value of this. Since they did it for scatter and gather it can't be too hard to finish the job and add it to the "Insert Into" and the "Append From" commands. It seems like an obvious thing.

Simon,
I don't know if its a question of seeing the value of this. I have heard of other items asked for that seemed fairly trivial but were a PITA to implement. Without knowing the specifics of how Insert Into works, this may be the case as well. I don't know.

However, you can be sure that the Fox Team does know about it.
