>Is anyone heard from Microsoft any serious commitment for Foxpro in the future. Someone told me recently that it is supposed to be the last official major release (in Visual Studio 6) Is there anyone in a user group somewhere who can confirm or deny or simply has little more details.

Look in the Knowledge Base on the UT here. You will find a document called "The Future of Foxpro" (or something to that effect). Just as an aside, I met Robert Green (the manager of MS developer tools) earlier this month, he was very positive about VFP. It was almost like listening to a pep talk from a coach in little league. That kind of enthusiasm is contagious.
