That was well put. The problem is that sometimes projects, events etc. lead down unexpected corridors and problems arise. While the policy is frustrating at times, its a heck of alot more frustrating when you buy a product that doesn't work as advertised. You're right, it took "guts" (my term) and I know it wasn't an easy decision, but it was kinda forced by the release date. Once upon a time ADESK didn't announce when products would be released, because the reality is, its very hard to put a time table on cutting edge development. Now there are "release" dates and all the expectations that that entails. Puts a heck of a lot of pressure on the programmers. I like the Orson Welles addage (I think it was Orsen) "We'll serve no wine before its time". Same can be said for good software. Deadlines make it tough. (I know you know this, but I thought I'd mention it for others that don't quite understand what's going on.) Regards, John
