My point here is that MS owes us more than a slammed door. I'm also using other tools, but the application I'm selling is written in VFP and I have no plans whatsoever to re-write it again. This is my 4th - and last - complete re-write. I am aware that VM is a way to handle this problem, but I'm speaking as I am because I believe that MS screwed us over, and we shouldn't be just bending over. > Example: I'm not putting SP2 on because I've seen reports of failures > > with it.

SP2 today isn't a really big deal, but the underlying matter - that needed maintenance isn't being scheduled - is. Bill > -- > Michael J.
