John,

I don't think I'd release a product using any .0 release of VFP. 3.0 was very buggy and 5.0 had several as well. I would wait until the first service pack ships. There seem to be several little bugs in RC1 and I doubt many of them were fixed for the release. One of my clients sells a vertical market app. When we upgraded from 3.0 to 5.0 our bug list multiplied quickly. Most of the problems turned out to be 5.0 bugs that were fixed in 5.0a.

Depending on the nature of your application, you may not really get that much out of 6.0. If you don't see any compelling new features that will make a big difference to your application I would save 6.0 for the next version of your product.


>I know that a number of people are currently using the VFP 6.0 Beta. I am about 20% into converting a very large vertical market app from 2.6 for DOS to VFP. Currently I am using VFP 5.0a. With 6.0 comming out in the next week or so I am trying to decide should I jump on 6.0 and get all the new features or stay with a relativly stable 5.0a. If I don't get this right I could go under as this product is all we really have after over four years of work.
