FoxPro 1.02 is an excellent product, and the serious bugs have now been shaken out. FoxPro 2.0 is supposed to be released soon, but there have already been delays and who knows when it will finally come out (take your time, Fox, solid is better than soon). If you buy 1.02 you will be entitled to a free upgrade to 2.0. Peter -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Peter E.
