Hey Craig,

Don't take this personally, but where's the positive view and the can do spirit. It seems you only have reasons why it can't be done or why it would be a bad idea. I check my windows update every couple of days and encourage our clients to do the same. If the VFP runtime was dropped in there whenever it was updated, I'd just say go, and voila, I'm updated, etc. There have been other positive reasons suggested here that have a VFP marketing impact as well.

If it can be done, it should be done. No doubt about it.

Ken? What's it take?


Regards,
Chris.
