I for one don't believe in a socialist state.

Right, we all know the state you believe in. Microsoft Rules!

Cheers, Dan.

P.S. Glad to see you've added political theory to your vast list of expertise. "socio-economic consent" or whatever. Finance, technology, economics, law, politics, whatever. Reg the omniscient sees all, understands all, tells all. And he's always right!

Mr. Middleton:

But I did design the formulas and the custom code behind my Excel app that makes it do the fancy financial stuff that it does.

Most likely you will have to recode it when Office 9x for Win98 comes out. I was not a happy consumer when multiple Excel tools, (home grown and third party) died upon installation of Ofc 97.

Reggie,

>>But I did design the formulas and the custom code behind my Excel app that makes it do the fancy financial stuff that it does. If one vendor is forced to open up its code, the others should be as well. I for one don't believe in a socialist state.

Nice tie in with the "socialist state". Ask for open standards on abstract data formats and suddenly the tanks are rolling in the streets.

Cheers,

Norm
