Mike,

Those omissions undercut the whole effort, suggesting that one's time would be better spent looking into VFP alternatives.

You complain that your conspiracy theory is proven by the lack of VFP articles in MSDN magazine, and when I call your bluff, you say you couldn't encourage someone to write an article for that same magazine. I don't know why I waste my time reading these threads.

As I said to Evan - Thank you!!

I'll bet some of these folks will see your response as stonewalling, not standing up fopr VFP, which is what you're doing... <g>
Best,
