Thank You Very Much Nadya!

Your comment put a really big smile on my face. :-)

I hope more people find it useful and that I don't have to sleep for the next several days or get interrupted by those darn clients that PAY me so I can work on my UNPAID product and get it out the door. It would be nice to be known as the guy that single handedly changed reporting in Visual FoxPro forever! <bg> Or in other tools as well.

Thank you Microsoft for ActiveX! Although I hate having to deal with ActiveX controls in my applications personally. Sometimes it is the only way to go. I spent about 500 man hours writing an Outlook Scheduler control in pure VFP code only to find out that once you added over 150 to 200 appointment container objects to a VFP Container that it came to a screetching halt while painting. So I ended up by DBI's schedule component only to suffer with their bugs for over 2 years. Like popping up a VFP Menu over the top of their control only to have their control still active and allowing the user o add bogus appointments because the VFP wrapper code wouldn't fire because the VFP Menu was still up on the screen. What a PITA! In my spare time I will finish my Scheduler ActiveX control that I wrote in Delphi and start selling it since it is very VFP Friendly. All Delphi generated ActiveX controls are very VFP Friendly as long as you as long as you remember to remove the "OLEMISC_SIMPLEFRAME" bit flag from the ActiveX Controls Initialization method.

I would have loved to have written my control natively in C++ for VFP but it just would have taken too long. But I might port it Turtle Logo someday. <bg>
