No problem. One reason my feelings are so strong on this is that this happened to me with the purchase of a 3rd party product 2 to 3 years ago. They converted a FP tool to VFP with precious little upgrading to VFP code, look, feel, functionality, etc. However, I think they have corrected this in newer releases.
