I'm glad you like mine session! <bg> I still think that at the next conference I should do a 5 minute session on, "How to Build ActiveX Components in Delphi for VFP". The first 2 minutes will be the actual building of a component, compiling it, registering it and dropping it onto a VFP Form. Then the last 3 minutes of the session will be Question and Answer time. <bg>

OK! So maybe that doesn't include adding all the logic and algorithms to make it do useful stuff. But it would get the point across verses using ATL. Plus, those controls built in Delphi don't require MFC42.DLL, MSVCRT.DLL, etc. So that's also nice as well. Plus Delphi is very similar to VFP syntax much more so than C++ is to VFP.

But seriously, it was quite fun trying to impress you! <bg> I do love doing what I do and I hope it shows! Not every job allows for the creativity that you get with software design and development. I'm not really a software developer, I'm an Imagineer! <bg>

I just see it in my Mind's Eye and then create it! <bg>

I have worked really hard the last 2 days making more improvements to the VFP Engine part of my control and VCX class. Soon it will be running most VFP reports exactly the same as VFP. However, I'm correcting the BUGS!!

I just found another one yesterday in VFP with STRETCH WITH OVERFLOW on a FIELD with a LINE below it set to FLOAT and a PRINT WHEN of MOD(RECNO(),5) = 0. When the Report Field above it stretched, the line Floated but the line was printed in between the first line of text and the 2nd line of text from the same Report Field. That doesn't seem right to me. So I coded it the way I thought it should work which is the line would be below the complete Report Field and not splitting lines of text from the same Report Field on the same page. Correct me if I'm wrong.
