I agree - whatVFP really needs is exposure, the VFP5.0 heb edition was launched last week here in Israel (it was together with SQL 6.5 presentation for software houses in Israel)
and I am sure for some of the ppl it was the first time they heard about VFP. There were q. in the audience like "so why do I need to use Access?" etc.
another nice thing was that the MS head of developer products div. (in Israel) addmited publically that VFP is the better DBMS

this is the bug tracking system that was distributed with the early VFP 5.0 betas (and was dropped later -for some fixes)

yeah this would be good
