Jim,

Thanks! I'm going to use those messages a part of the generic draft checklist I'm going to post to this list. A standard template to submit enhancement requests should make it easier for MS (and others in the VFP community) to track, comment on, and prioritize as well as giving us, as customers, an accurate gauge to see how MS is responding to our feedback.

Perhaps the UT or the FoxWiki's could create a new area or forum branch designed to track and cross reference enhancement requests?

Regards,
Malcolm

>>I would love to review the concept of a prefered enhancement/feature request template with someone at Microsoft vs. attempting to re-invent the wheel or build a wheel that Microsoft won't use. I know that Robert Green, Ken Levy, Mike Stewart, Garrett Fitzgerald and other Microsoft people monitor this forum so I'm hoping that my posts might generate some feedback from them. My understanding from reading various MS email signatures is that it is fruitless to reply to these individuals directly and I should wait until I snag one of these individuals in this thread.
