>>I liken this to the 'Group By' situation in VFP8. How much time might we all have spent on this if MS hadn't told us about it up front. Knowing about it allowed us (at least, some of us) to avoid the situation completely. But for whatever reason, with regard to 'known' bugs, MS would rather we all bang our heads against them for a while before acknowledging that they've know about them all along.

Man o' man, you 'defenders of the faith of whatever MS does' really really really have a problem when you take a simple analogy and pick it apart because of a silly technicality!

Alan's point was clear to me and most open-minded people - that MS went to lengths to explain the GROUP BY difference in an effort to save people frustrating debugging time AND THE SAME APPLIES TO SHIPPED KNOWN BUGS!!!
