I'm actually emailing from NZ today though it says UK in my UT profile (the company has offices in both countries)

I agree, MS has promoted VFP minimally throughout Australasia. They no longer openly damn the product (at one point VB Account reps were unashamed in advising clients that VFP is dead and should not be considered by business) but they "damn it with faint praise" very effectively- "VB with SQL Server is the most productive and best database development combination and apparently VFP can be made to interface to SQL server too."

Could you please drop me an email at jryan@platocis.co.uk on a different topic.

Regards

JR
