Thanks for the NOWAIT tip, I look forward to trying it out sometime. As for your report writer book, funny enough I came to the same realization when I pulled the book off the shelf the other day and started looking through it. So instead I went through the what's new in VFP9 chapters and feel I have a decent starting point on working with listeners now.
I do look forward to getting this latest book, sounds great. Thanks for all the work you've done for the fox community!
