OK, I'll now sit back and see what it is that you announce over the next few months.
I'm hopeful, but will anticipate nothing until it is exposed by yourself.

Thanks

>>3) This add-on is dependent on deliveries of other developmental software at Microsoft which has already seen slippage in both deliver date and feature set.

>The schedule right now is for Sedna to release in the first half of 2007 which is well beyond the target platform release dates. Much of what we will be building on is the .NET Framework 2.0 which will release later this year (2005) while Sedna is targeting 2007.

>>4) The VFP Team - what's left of it - will squeeze in a service pack some time around the end of this year.

>Yes, and we squeezed in a service pack for VFP 7.0, VFP 8.0, etc.

>>5) The VFP team - what's left of it - is pre-occupied with enhancing .NET and we (VFP developers) can hope that that work will make adopting/exploiting .NET simpler.

>Exactly, as .NET becomes the primary Microsoft platform for application development long term. It is much like creating a Windows version of FoxPro last decade, going from DOS to Windows. We are working on things to help VFP developers, businesses using VFP applications, etc. for the long term (second half of this decade and into the next).
