>That's a pretty big "if". I would be happy if we could get that now, but we haven't. Why would we get it with the advent of CLR? FWIW, some versions of the VB runtime have been included with various versions of Windows, but the VB guru will tell you to never develop with those versions in mind, because they are guaranteed to be old.

By the same reasoning, the CLR will have to be updated as necessary.

Actually, it's not a bad idea. Two years ago, I spoke with Robert Green at an VFP->SQL Server seminar in San Francisco and asked him about distributing the VFP runtime with Windows (we were talking about ActiveDocuments) - he thought it was a good idea.

>I really doubt that VFP will drop support for scx forms any time soon.

Do people still use those?
