That's exactly the point. If .Net really gets important, we can easily make a .Net back end. But for now we won't support M$'s bs bingo. However, as long as MS Office isn't written in .Net I see no need to do see even if M$ tries permanently to tell people this is a different story :))) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
