As I said, I don't have back issues to look at. (you DID say 96?). If that campaign ran without a VPF ad, I agree...maybe there should have been one. But as I recall, VFP 5.0 had already been out for 6 months and the ad was touting new versions of everything else....and there WERE VFP ads that ran later. I remember downloading the JPGs of them that MS posted on the VFP web site.

There was a full page ad in InfoWorld & PC Week within the last year touting VFP 6.0.
