>>I am fortunate in that where I work, I can use the best tool for the job. I have overcome some anti-MS bias as well because I demonstrated what I could do with VFP and MS Word in automating the creation of very complex documents. My team leader was pulling his hair out because he was having to edit every document that another group was producing for deployment to our internet site. I stepped in with the VFP/Word app, and, while his eyes popped out after seeing what I did to simplify his job, his hair has now completely grown back.
