Michelle,

I can give you a little bit history here, so my intent would become clear. I was trying to solve some weird and annoying problem, running the same job over and over again. This drove me crazy and you probably know this feeling, when you're trying to find something, which is elluding from you. Anyway, at some point I thought, that I need to find something in the project. I tried Houston's utility, which he sent me while ago and discovered, that it expired (as it was mentioned in quite recent thread). Then I went to Files section in hope to find something to help me. I searched by "Search" string and found 35 items. I selected Erik's utility by description, downloaded the file, read readme, changed my VFP Startup program and run this application. As far as I remember, I closed my VFP session just before this.

It didn't work as I thought, so I wrote this message in a hurry, asking for help. I really didn't expect to find reply, such Tom gave me.

Anyway, hopefully Erik didn't mind.


>I think maybe the problem is that you didn't make it clear you were asking for help with the problem. I just took a peek at it and it did look like you were just posting to criticize it.

>>Well, it I would not so busy with struggling with my recent problem, I probably would just send him a private message, you're right. If desperate is an excuse, let's me say, if was from my desperation.

>>On the other hand, some other users of this utility may help me here, if Erik would not see this message. Perhaps, I just did something wrong, though I just unzipped the file, read readme and tried to use it.

>>And, why critiqe is prohibited here? It's a public domain and the user's feedback should be always wellcomed, even if it's negative.
>>
>>In any case, I appologize if my message was not appropriate. My other excuses:
>>1) Different mentality
>>2) Different background
>>3) English is not my native language
>>4) Etc.
