I think this would get a very favorable response from Microsoft. I would not bother with report writer or menu builder requests. As far as reports go, they've already demonstrated an unwillingness to do much in this area and I honestly don't think they're interested in hearing any more ERs related to it. I do think a request to support the new VB 6 Report writer in VFP would have some merit. As far as menus go, it seems that MS as a company has already committed to menus (and toolbars) going the way of ActiveX controls.
