Tom,

>>In my opinion what makes the FoxPro community so great is the spirit of the members and no matter what happens to the product long term the members will prevail - simply because that's the way so many are built.

There is a very different attitude expressed by the VB community compared to the VFP community towards individuals and groups. In general it seems like we are talking about different personalities. I have not experienced the sharing between VB developers that exists with VFP. Now can someone answer why? It might just be circumstance or could it be “characteristics and limitations of the language”? :)

Dunno, but I'll bet yag will find out. <g> It could stem from the language or perhaps VFP is the way it is because of folks like Tom Rettig or perhaps the VFP community is the way it is because of all the grief we've taken from vendors over the years (A-T, Nantucket, Arago, etc..).
