From a Microsof tPOV that is correct, yes. I meant the overall FP life span, starting with Fox Software.

So I guess the Microsoft contribution could only be 1992 to 2015. Still 23 years.

And yes, those days of "puppydom" were the good old days. Hard to believe that I have now been using VFP for more than half my life (I started before MS bought it).
