>> If you're really curious, and not just being defensive about MS<<
I absolutely was not defensive about MS, and in fact stated about the issue in the KB article: "I agree it is a poor design to have a string too long error when you UPPER() a memo field." >> And while your exhaustive explanations may be technically correct, they >> still leave a bad impression.<< No doubt users hate to hear their alleged bugs are by design. I know, me too. Yet I have an open mind when working with all software vendors when they report this back to me. I also call them on the carpet when I think their designs are wrong and need to be fixed. Do not confuse the true definition of bugs and the real world implementation of the business process to deal with them. They are completely different issues. It is also why I stated that small companies (like most of the people who frequent this list) can out maneuver the big boys, and be way better at responding to the customers' needs including issues reported about the software we create. >>Go through these, and see how reports are handled. If you find a case of either Paul or me being dismissive about a report, please point it out.<< Really don't have the time to handle this request. I am having too much fun working on VFP projects at the moment, securing new projects, and growing my business. Knowing what I know about you two, I am sure you guys handle the reports with nothing but the best intentions of the Dabo developer base.
