I really hope MS will take care of ActiveX in general and ADO in
particular - in a 6.x release or a SP- having this only in the next major
release of VS, is, IMHO somewhat too late
Adding this in Ver 7 is serving the purpose of keeping the VFP developers
using MS tools, having it in Ver 6. is helping positioning VFP as a viable
front-end in the Enterprise and a real alternative to VB in this
area - probably the reason we didn't get it now...
