Thanks TC. I will check it out. And thanks Perti. This will probably do the trick for most client sites.

>>Hi Craig,
>>
>>I went to the VFP section of the MSDN site and clicked a link that took me to store.microsoft.com, and started the checkout process. It looks like it would have let me complete the sale ($649!). It also looks like this is independent of an MSDN subscription? The vfp 'upgrade' was out of stock. I wonder how long before VFP itself will be out of stock?
>>
>>I am not that well versed in the latest efforts of the VFP community, but my understanding is that there was some sort of effort underway to make VFP open source. Where does that stand?
>>
>>As an AccountMate reseller, I can't just have my own development copy of VFP. I need to have a copy on my client's servers or local machines so I can create utility routines, fix data, etc. For existing customers I'm covered, but how do I handle a new customer?
>>
>>
>>>I believe standalone VFP boxes are no longer available from Microsoft. How long from inidivdual vendors will vary from vendor to vendor as their inventories and sales will be different. You can still get VFP as part of an MSDN subscription.
>>>
>>>>A colleague asked me how long VFP 9 will be available for purchase, either directly from Microsoft or from other vendors, after 'mainstream supports and after 'extended support' ends. Obviously I have my own copy, but my colleague and I need to be able to tell new clients what their options are with respect to purchasing VFP, now, and in the future.
