You're already on my list of those who don't have a clue. Where do you come up with I'm a Microsoft Sheepie because I think that the idea of making VFP open source is ridiculous? There arent more than 1 or 2 on this list who have the skill set to even contemplate maintaining such a product let alone making innovations to keep it competitive. So shout all you want, and keep complaining about the lack of docs on interop.
