Hi Andy,

>Oh, sorry I misunderstood what you said. What you are really saying is that you offer these courses as part of your business and the fact that you continue to do so is the contribution to the community.

Yep, I'm a contributor!!

>Can't argue with that. I hope the course continue to do well enough to keep them going a little longer. It was interesting at WhilFest this year that I met a number of people who were not only at their first VFP conference, but who were also 'new' to VFP.

I'd like to follow that up with wishing someone at a conference would ask these newbies if they're doing new development or are they getting an existing VFP app dropped in their lap for maintenance. The latter is definately the trend I see when I ask newbies in class what their new found VFP skills will be used for back at the office.

>A common question was 'where is the training' - both Marcia and I pointed a couple of people your way too.

Why thank you! ... and where do I send your $20?? < g >
