>>Do they do anything beyond providing a support resource?

That is all an association can really be.... That said, what on Earth could a VFPDA do now that is not already being addressed? For those issues that are not being addressed, how feasible is it that a VFPDA could make much head way. Of course, in this case, I am talking about the marketing/public awareness issue for VFP.

I still say, until MS makes a move in this regard, the point is moot...
