Well, so could I, but I thot I was already getting a little carried away by citing 3 separate things under the heading of what I'd MOST like to see.

Now, now, we shouldn't be ungrateful for all the stuff we HAVE gotten thru the years. Since FMP is both a development engine and an implementation program, they have to maintain a balance of new features to keep both client bases happy, and I generally find they've done a pretty good job of it, even if does feel from time to time that we're just getting thrown the bone after somebody else has eaten most of the steak off of it.
