>In the 'old days', we bought user packs of standard edition FP (2.x,3) for non-programmers, for cheap prices. Now they are becoming obsolete with vfp5 (and future pro editions) on the market. Does anyone know if there ever will be another standard edition available for casual users?


According to MS the sales of standard were so low that it has been dropped. Only Professioanl editions are available.
