Secondly, there would be a greater likelihood of editing "collisions" that could result in loss/corruption of votes (or even the whole document). Thirdly, there would be no way to prevent multiple votes by any one person.

Post this to UT wishes, but I doubt it will be implemented ate the UT - it is not so easy. Too much effort for nothing. Need to be sure first that MS will appreciate such effort and agree to communicate more with VFP community here. Yet from the Sergey's pessimistic posts I see that this is just a buzzing around ;((

Who knows what can get MS to communicate more... VFP is excellent programming tool, that, I think, is not improved as good as required for such tool compare to other MS products. There are still such great holes in VFP that make writing wishes quite frustrating after so much SP and version releases without fixes.
