Mike,

If VFP was included in MS Office, the Grid would have to be rewritten so that it would automatically sort when you clicked on the Header. My wife used Access at her old company and when she uses VFP she misses that "Feature"!

I actually have customers ask for that "Feature" a lot in custom stuff or my commercial products so I oblige as best as possible.

I do think that VFP and SQL though work together quite well and that would be a good bundle. Several clients have switched from VB to VFP after I show them how fast I can interface with SQL and massage the data easier and mostly build usable forms more quickly. The VB IDE STINKS! No multiple code windows what a pain.
