Thanks. I said I "believe" she wrote that chapter and I aplogize if I gave the impression it was fact. I also thought I read somewhere (maybe on this forum?) that you said she wrote it when someone asked you a question about interop. Maybe that's all in my imagination, though..

• The MM .NET sample applications access both SQL Server and VFP data and allow you to switch between them dynamically at run time. We ship the VFP Northwind database with MM .NET. In our next version we are shipping a new Command Builder specifically for the purpose of making it easier to access VFP data from .NET.
