>I'm sure that it is too late for VFP8 but maybe not for a later version. I would love to see a FROM clause added to the SCATTER command so I wouldn't need to change work areas to scatter the data from a record in an open workarea. In that same vein, it has probably been discussed before but an IN clause would be a great addition to the SCAN command. Any thoughts why these couldn't be added.

Yes, several dozens of wish have been entered in our list after the timeframe for VFP 8. So, whatever was entered since that date will be processed for a new version. You can access the Visual FoxPro Wish List from our Visual FoxPro Zone. In order to officialize yours, it need to be entered in there as that is the official MS VFP wish list.
