(Hit the Send button too soon!) I would agree that Gray's comment is bullshit as well. VFP has been extremely fast, and in fact faster than MANY different apps out there, and Doug Hennig's Stonefield Query tools kind of attest to that, as he notes how long it took with other programs but his smoked the rest in processing time. This comment by GG is not easily supported by many, and it's this kind of fodder that those NOT in the know like to feed upon. Forget about the fact that there's probably 10x as many positive comments; they'll use this jerk to prop up their anti-fox position. (Then again, he perhaps stopped at VFP6, so what would he know of how great VFP is today?) -- Michael J.
