>Surely then that disqualifies it as a real version change!?

So, what you are saying is that to make a version change that you need to change things that are visual? I disagree. There were many bugs cleaned up, things that have existed since the Fox 2.x days, COM was improved and many other things.

>I haven't upgraded because I can't see any visible reason why it would be worth it for me, being just a part-time programmer. I would hope that v7 would have some solid changes in basic usability features.

The bug fixes alone are worth it. IMO, you are taking the same approach as people who still have Fox 2.x apps running. "The program is still working fine, so why upgrade it?" They are now having many problems from Y2K to fast processors. Do the upgrade. It is well worth it.

>VFP is great in many aspects, but it has some real quirks!

IMO, every program has its quirks. VFP seems to have more, but that's due to it's heritage.
