>First of all, it has never been a secret that the VFP9 report engine is aimed at laser printers and inkjet printers, if you still need to print to dot matrix printers, you must use Report behavior 80. By the way, we dumped our last dot matrix printer some ten years ago, this is 2005, man! HP Laserjets: Skip the HP drivers, and use the native Microsoft drivers, that has been common knowledge for most of us.

>Secondly, with so many features, you think 200 (I doubt that number, but OK) is a high number? How many do you think still exists in comparable software? And how many bugs are "serious"? Get real, man! This depends on your programming skills and which features you use, I have seen none, zero, zilch, bugs which has made any problems for me at all with VFP9.

>As to the announcement of a SP2, I think that's a good sign, this means that VFP9 will have even more bugs fixed. I'd rather have a VFP9 with a few minor bugs, than a 'real soon now' promise ala IE7, Longhorn and other programs which have been in the making for years.

>>The claim of MS that VFP 9.0 is the most stable release they have so far is now in question to me. Why? SP1 has some 200 bugs fixed and they're coming up with SP2 aside from SEDNA which I guess will also have lots of fixes included. Worst, many of the reported bugs that were fixed are obvious and basic bugs which in the first place shouldn't be passing through first level of debugging. Reading the list of fixes of SP1, we have one bug that is so important to us that is not yet fixed: can't recognized legal size paper for some printer i.e. EPSON LX 300+, some HP Laserjets... We are then forced to set report behaviour to 80 which is awkward.

>>Is VFP 9.0 the most stable version or the worst version released since 3.0? Whatever your interpretation in this question of us, we are still using it and in fact our system might be integrated with MS Navision come 2006.
