For the dataenviornment and DBC at desgin time...instead of seeing all those boxes representing the tables and views...how about puting them in a treeview like what you see in the project manager? Once you get a lot of tables or views in a DBC or dataenviornment it's too much of a hassle to navigate around in there. Plus the 'auto-arrange' feature for the DBC's SUCKS (and you cant even do that in a dataenviornment). I have several DBC's that have so many tables or views in them that if I 'auto-arrange' them, then it's actually possible for VFP to put the stuff so far down in the .dbc screen that even if you scroll all the way to the bottom...you still cant see them! arrrrh! Another one that's been bothering me since VFP3...
