Been doin' fine David. Things are apparently going your way there down under.

>Anyway, I'd identified that VFP 6 works in an earlier message. My point was that if VFP provides a function which gives you what you want then some folks will (rightly) use it. Don't really need a sledgehammer to crack a nut as so often happens in programming these days. Personally, I use ADIR(), and have rarely, if ever, required more information than that.

Missed that about 6.0, David, sorry. Oh, I agree with you completely. When Ed Rauh and I wrote the series on the WSH, we specifically concentrated on that functionality that either VFP didn't have, was difficult to do, or extended beyond VFP's. You're completely right in the "sledgehammer" analogy.

>Best regards to you.

And to you, David.
