MS has not dispeled the "no future" rumor, although it's been dead since VFP5 came out.

Jeez! In my experience, PB ois a helluva lot more unstable than VFP.

>If we cannot convince M$ to speak in a "clear and loud voice" ... the future of VFP will be ... doubtful. And it is 5 to midnight, no matter how much more versions will come out, how ADO, POPO, LOLO or FOFO VFP will be.

I agree with you, Marc....unfortunately. We need VFP showcased somehow, somewhere as a serious c/s front-end...I don't buy John Petersen's argument, which is to give up on VFP as a whole, move to VB and let VFP do second-tier stuff in a 3-tier world.
