Telerik products are not open source - you get the source code when you buy the product. However, I wasn't discussing the open source concept, I was trying to say that 1 million cells in less than a second is damn fast, so the legendary VFP speed is not a VFP thing anymore - the other languages are very close to it. The only reason I mentioned the source code is if they can do it, then IMO it worth to buy the product and learn from it. I know I learned a lot of VFP by digging in others' code.
