You have never done that whatsoever. Others have though I could care less. It was just that as a result I thought I'd put a few labels on them in return. <g>

John, I have no problem with pointing out problems. None whatsoever. Let's use the Doctor/Patient analogy.

I want my doctor to not always point out just the negative issues.

I want my doctor to not always point out just the positive issues and possibly miss a curable situation.

I want my doctor to discuss both.

Some here seem determined to only see the negative or bad side. I am suggesting that there are both. What is so difficult, do you think, about that to apprehend? <g>

I think that VFP has been steadily moving forward since FoxBase 1.0 days. I also think that more could be done. I am thrilled to see yesterday's VFP7 RTM. I'm quite confident that there will be a SP1 as there always seems to be some 'gotchas' after a release. So what? That is normal but some seem to think it's the end of FoxPro. I don't get it I guess.
