Reminds me of when my boss in the late 90s was getting excited about ActiveDocs only to be sorely learned that they didn't hold any promise. Talk about a wasted effort. Hey, I'm sure that that DotNyet stuff will never suffer any of this fate, or at least for a long time, so perhaps we should all jump on that bandwagon now. I can just see the M$ofties now: "Those darn VFPers...they're so stubborn! Why aren't they all adapting DotNet? We'll pull the plug on VFP and then we'll see how many of them come onto the DotNet wagon then!" To be fair...some respected VFPers have said that they enjoy DotNet....and I'm not talking about the ones who have a MVP status, either. One such colleague said: "There are things that DotNet does great that Fox can't, and vice-versa." -- Michael J.
