Cindy,

That's the kind of article I read, even if I don't have a need for it now, because it adds to the overall knowledgebase of ideas and concepts. I think I always find something of value in every magazine I read, so all these criticisms of FPA's size don't matter much to me.

Just one tip can more than pay for several years' subscription cost -- I guess it all depends on how you look at it.

>The article on Encryption was very timely for me. I'm going to be doing some encryption and am collecting ideas before I choose a method, and now I have an additional no-cost choice.

>>Hmmm. I just looked at the June issue and found very good indepth info on DCOM and VFP EXE's and an excellent multi-use instancing explanation from Cristof, articles on Implementing Interfaces in VFP7 and Eventhandler, and some very interesting encryption info, along with the tips you mentioned.
