>>Yes, I know. I was just thinking that maybe, just maybe, they might fix these issues in the re-release of SP2. Can't fix it if they don't know about it. I, too, have gotten real frustrated. I can't much blame them - if they keep focusing on VFP, their careers at MS will go nowhere - but it still is frustrating for us. When a product gets part-time attention, it will decrease in quality. And testing has mostly gone over to automated testing, which is helpful, but not a substitute for real testers.

>>>Send straight to Milind... I remember the times that the devteam was present HERE frequently, daily or at least weekly, by at least one person. Milind should still be that one, but he is never here anymore. I have tried to find out what the current policy of the devteam in regard to presence on the UT is. No reaction.
