If you recall the history of the PRO series then the changes are not so far fetched.

1. They started with dBaseIV (remember Ashton-Tate). SBT decided that the platform was not selling or to buggy - and tossed it out the door. (lost lots of money)

2. Used Fox 2.5/2.6 to create PRO 2.5 with a complete event handler and many other interesting features. Nuts to work with.

3. Started devel with VFP 3.0 for PRO 3.0 the changed to VFP 5.0 to complete. Made so many changes that all the old PRO 2.5 code mods had to thrown away.

4. And now we have VFP 6.0 and the bases classes are so different that it is crazy to continue with the old PRO 5.0i model. And again we will throw out the old mods.

The only thing that has stayed around has been the tables.

Will 6.0 have more OOP --- YES

Will SBT proc go away completely -- MAYBE but I believe the current thinking is that it is faster to use small little programs in some cases than classes.

Will the accounting module structure stay -- I think so because of the way they sell them. You know buy one module or all.

Will they add more tools to integrate. You bet.
