I have considered that. Then I thought about how many people out there are still using VFP3,5,6. I was thinking just before your reply "Am I going to buy 7?", How soon will everybody update their frameworks? We were still on Win95/Novell4.1 running a FPD2.6 app when I started here. It's taken 9 months to get a hybrid FPW/VFP app built. I don't know that many production outfits that jump to the latest and greatest. I'm still trying to convince the folks here that if you don't upgrade with some sor of frequency, soon you can't really upgrade at all.

>I just wonder if it is possible to determine from Ken if grids will be going through any type of major transformation in the Toledo version before you get too far into this? I love the idea of a book on grids myself, but if grids are refactered, then what?

After the full launch in July I will begin work in earnest. My question to you is...Would you contribute? I have been told by many that you are a master of grids. What I am thinking for the context of the book is a combo of cookbook / this-is-why-it-is. Based primarily on a search of postings/solutions from the participants here at UT.

>>>They're lying :) I'd try to contribute but never liked to tie myself with promises. Another obstacle is some of my grid things are part of commercial class (FoxyClasses).

>>What I would like to see from those like yourself, are answers to why it does it that way. I certainly would not want you to in any way compromise your commercial product, we all like to make money !), and I respect that folks like you and the other major players have not much time on your hands. I would work at making participation an easy thing to do, and keep it matched to your schedule. Thanks.
