Good news, indeed ;)

>Vlad about my statment of int with properties in VFP 7 is fixed I've just run a test and looks like VFP7 now if you have the combo bound to an int field the value of the combo will be int and not numeric I'm glad Microsoft has fix this.

>>I agree, what to say. But in such case I also remember how it is hard to make it as generic as needed without not breaking existing VFP applications (we alredy have a few things in VFP7 that broke some VFP6 apps). So mplementing these improvements could be too expensive.
>>
>>I also usually remember such thing as a programming of similar comboboxes in VB. When I remember it, I starting to feel much better about VFP - just because in VFP all this is much more simplified. In VB you have to do more programming, when in VFP you ahve to handle more properties and methods. The difference is great for beginners, though its pity that there are still confusing things exists in the VFP app.

>>>Vlad I'm not saying that I know better solutions that you I'm not the type of Macho Men that says I know everything and I'm better than you.
>>>In one point you are correctly good for me since I'm always looking to learn new things and aprofundate my knowledge on existing ones.
>>>About the point of combos not been design to work with int fields I don't know if this is true but this is the case then perhaps VFP team should review this point since as far as I'm concern the purpose of combos is to show a list for the user to select from, so if you are doing data applications them perhaps you are bounding that combo to an int field and not char being this the case I don't agree with your statement of "Working with Int field comes from older versions of FoxPro and left for compartibility. It is not recommended to use this feature of combobox at all".
>>>Another thing is the following the only reason that combos have problems with int fields is because VFP doesn't support int for properties if you pass an int value to a property that value is converted to numeric. this is another thing that VFP team should look on for a service pack perhaps since in my opinion this is a bug.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
