>>Does anyone has an idea how to get a VFP 5.0 update as fast as possible, an update which won't cause problems with a german 5.0b version (which will come soon as I read your error reportings on VFP 5.0)

The other possible solution is buying the product in England or in Poland. In a Polish divsion of Microsoft they told me, that there will not be polish version of VFP 5.0.
