Antiquated Software

[Tips]

First, I want to echo what someone else has said here... It is not my
intentions to offend anyone here as I too have great respect for this
community, after all, I have been subscribing to it since it started.  I
also own every copy of the Guru, Cookbooks, workshop guides and Informx.  I
have also attended to every filepro traning camp that John & Karen Esak has
held...  So, that said, I do respect you all and this community.

My primary concern when I jumped in was to say some things that need said
and clear up some myths about things that are not true like "speed of data
entry is faster in text-based than gui"...  Many of you knew that gui based
systems could be enabled to behave the same as a text based system.

What I NEED TO KNOW NOW is the intentions and direction of filepro.

Hey Filepro Gods... are you listening?????  Would you all be more open to us
by posting the Wish List on your website with projected/realistic release
dates and priority codes for each item.  Since 2000, I have been completely
in the dark on what is forthcoming.  Why so much secrecy?  I get continually
get told "I can't talk about that".  Why not?  I, as a developer NEED TO
KNOW...

Ken, I've tried desperately to use memos on our invoices with very little
success, I finally gave up on the whole memo process.  Previously, I used a
80 character field on each line item to hold comments, and while that was
tolerable for years, it really makes the process of creating an invoice
painful.  If I remember correctly, I could not implement it so that I had a
memo field for every line item.  The other big problem was printing, as it
would not resize itself based on the data it contained, or not even show if
empty.  Get this working and I'll continue spending dollars on filepro...

Next, is anything being done about screen size, as this is also badly
needed?

Thanks,
Stanley

Umm...  Printing of memos has been in since 5.0.14.  Did you miss that?
