>Your reply to PerryF, coupled with the statement below, says to me that the VFP Team is being absorbed into the VS team. A sad situation, to be sure.

The VFP team has been in the VS division since the 90s. What I am saying is that right now the VFP team is working on both enhancing VFP as well as helping add VFP-like data features to a future version of VS, primarily the VB language. There will be more details announced sometime in June.
