>Thank you for your advice, Craig, but the problem is that beside VFP6 a Universal subscription would be quite useless, since I already have here the latest development,Office and Backoffice tools. I have been a MSDN Professional subscriber so I know everything about MSDN, and that's why I'll have to wait until '99. There's no need to waste a six-month subscription, right ?

Not necessarily. There are several nice things about MSDN Universal. Beta copies is one. Also, a couple of days after Visual Studio Service Pack 3 was released, it showed up at my door. I was set to download it. Also, there is a tremendous cost savings. Add up the costs of all the stuff in it and you'll see that you save LOTS more over the $3000 US.
