>>So in that mindset, shouldn't at least a couple of general level VFP sessions be included?
This is a logical argument you are stating here.... However, history has dictated that nobody will attend. So, while there should be sessions, the reality of nobody attending them in the past, has pretty much killed the idea. Believe me, if folks would have attended in the past, we would have sessions. You also have to remember that MS does not advocate folks using VB to suddenly start using VFP, even if folks know that VFP is the correct tool for the job. This is the part of MS's strategy I do not agree with. Yet, I understand why. MS's bread and butter is the VB market. No way MS is going to rock the boat here. Believe me, the VB camp has its fair share of problems too. Yet, is is so deeply entrenched that it must be promoted heavily. In essence, MS bet the ranch and the dog on VB technology a long time ago (8-9 years I suppose). When MS aquired Fox back in 92, the question proposed by John Hawkins was how Fox would mesh with Basic. I think technologies like ADO helps to answer the question.
