Don,

Obviously I'm not Barbara!

There is very little information as to what VFP5.0a "fixes". There *is* a "fixlist" of sorts available from MS (possibly even in the knowledgebase *here*, but it is abbreviated and somewhat cryptic. Seems they even add to it *after* VFP 5.0a was released! Also seems that at least one bug reported as fixed was not actually fixed (something to do with printing reports and PREVIEW).

But we all just accept it! Go figure!

regards,
Jim N
