Hi, Mark.

IMO, if MS didn't change FoxPro name when they launched VFP, that could be fairly considered a very different product from older versions, it is ingenuous to think about a name change. I can't see clearly what will be the advantage for MS, neither for us, but even so, a product name change is not something a company could do if not for VERY compelling reason.

>>Seriously, I don't think a name change is even remotely possible HUGE product change. And if MS will decide to make such a radical change, most surely it would have to do with integrating it with .Net anyway, what leaves us again in the debate about whether or not is desirable for VFP to be integrated (see previous Wikis on this topic).
