Heh, I'll vouche for that. When I saw this message I called right away. I was told it would be $5.00 for shipping. I mentiond that I understood from microsoft that shipping charges would be waved for current developers (or something like that, I just made it up) and she told me she would make an "exception" for me. Heh, $5 isn't a big deal, but I would prefer to get my bug fixes free.

>Call 800-370-9257 and tell them you want to order Visual FoxPro 5.0a as a maintenance release (otherwise they might try to sell it to you). I called and ordered it and was not charged a thing for it, but my co-workers called to update their VFP5.0 and were told either $5 or $15. Depending on who answered the phone. So I called again to get the upgrade for our VFP 5.0 on our NT and was told $5, I responded with 'I was told there was no cost', to which he responded 'OK We will wave the shipping cost'. I said thanks they took my particulars and told me it would be 2-4 weeks.

>P.S. have you CD or disks with you when you call they want verification numbers off of it.
