>>>>I've been using Foxpro since it was Foxbase+ and believe it can do 99% of what I ask or want it to do. It just has a name "Foxpro", that has come to symbolize (to some at least)a product that is not robust or professional enough for project development. I believe its time for MS to rename Visual Foxpro and give it a name that more accurately reflects what it is today.

Hilmar;

My Spanish speaking friends had problems with many words (and the numerous exceptions used with the American form of English grammar) when they studied our language and phrases such as, “Were I at war, where should I go”? We do not try to make it easy do we? :)
