Hi Colin

No Problem. Same goes for me...

I am tired of people saying that FoxPro supports the standard exactly as written when it clearly does not. I understand that you have hear this is the position of MSFT but does that make it right. If something is clearly wrong we should not become spin doctors for MSFT but should scream from the highest mountan that we want this changed. And this is what I am doing. It is my hope that MSFT has fixed this in the latest and greatest version but who knows.

Thanks,
Rod
