Jim,

From a bit of a "discussion" on this several months back on the MS VFP group, I *know* that what you have written is true and correct.

*BUT* that is *NOT* what the documentation says and, to make it worse, the "queen" of that very group stated that she had personally brought this to the attention of the folks that matter during BETA (VFP 3, I think she said) and yet it remains the same!

Missing info, incomplete info, misleading info. Wonder why I say the docs need VAST improvement????

Cheers,
Jim N
