Foxite?? What's that? Just kidding. How come you didn't say anything here too? Or on your blog?

Anyway, thanks for the update and for being honest about the situation. The silence was deafening after all the build up and hype. It's a bit disappointing to hear that VFP Studio has taken a place on the back burner, but, we can still hope. The fire is not out (yet).

There are only two people that ever work/worked on VFP Studio (Bo Durban and myself), so resources have always been very limited. Will VFP Studio be completed? No idea... I haven't even had a chance to completely get my head around the changes that were made in VS 2010 as respect to VSX.

>>>You still looking into this? Sorry I didn't see this message until just now... but yes, I have an FLL that Bo and I wrote some time back that can complete destruct VFP General Fields and get the different pieces of information and payloads (such as a Word doc for instance) that it contains. Let me know if you still need it.

Because, when we use the Object.SaveAs() property, in this case a Word file, the file that ends up being saved on the disk is way corrupted.
