George,

>>I couldn't have done it, however, without folks like Andy and Bonnie. <<

I have no idea what *I* said that helped you out, but hey, that's ok ... I'll take credit for it! <g>

Glad to hear that things are working out great!

~~Bonnie


>>>First, to everyone at Whilfest who’s ear I bent, my thanks. I was in a position where I had to defend the company’s use of VFP in the future. I recall particularly speaking with Andy Kramek and Bonnie Berent and some others on the subject. Again, thank you all. That covers the “Conferences” part.
>>>
>>>Second, my direct superior attended, last week, a class on .NET. That covers the “Events” part.
>>>
>>>Third, in a meeting earlier this week, it appears that we’ll be dropping Problem…er…PowerBuilder in favor of VS.NET and VFP. So to add a “News” part, we should be seeing four new VFP programmers and probably UT members.
>>
>>That is certainly good news. In a way, it 'made' my week to hear of a victory (sometimes few and far between).
>>It is always a constant battle that most of us had to fight with clients or management, so a success story is always a refresher.

>First, thank you. I couldn't have done it, however, without folks like Andy and Bonnie. For years, we've always lived "on the edge" of what was acceptable to Corporate IT and what wasn't. With a bit of luck, we may be able to change a few minds,
