>Well, I just finished reading the article on VFP 6 in this month's FoxPro Advisor. Perhaps the article focussed mainly on things of interest to the author, I don't know, but if that's all there is, I certainly feel very down indeed.

It's not so much "where do you want to go today", I think this release is taking us where Microsoft wants us to go:
Multi-tier and client-server applications.
Web enabled applications (STRTOFILE and FILETOSTR, plus enhanced string concatenation, JPEG image support)
Using COM to produce middle-tier components.
New _Access and _Assign methods will change OO design implementations.


All of which is of little interest to the solo consultant whose business is desktop and LAN applications.
But then those people are probably happy with VFP 5.0, apart from the non-object menus and reports.
