Hi Nadya,

I agree..
I will NEVER use an external component without sourcecode in a commercial product - it leaves the company exposed to too many unknowns.
A prime example is in the use of FLL's, the system I am currently migrating had a 16 bit fll which will not work in VFP.. no source code is available, the developer is not contactable so we have had to bin it.

I don't know if GHL source is available for a purchase price but I know I will never touch it professionally.
