Thank you Mr. Berezniker. Below is the MS text to which I refer. The last five words in the paragraph are the genesis of my remark regarding qualification for version ten of VFP.

Features in Sedna will target Visual FoxPro interoperability with application components created by using Visual Studio 2005, the .NET Framework 2.0, and SQL Server 2005. Sedna will also help improve the ability for Visual FoxPro 9.0 solutions to be successfully deployed on the upcoming new Windows operating system Microsoft ® Windows ® Code Name "Longhorn." Sedna is currently scheduled to be released in the first half of 2007 and will require Visual FoxPro 9.0.

Sincerely, your pal

Mr. McCue
