Steven,
Excellent point and one that gave me pause for thought. One very, very key element in the future of VFP as a recognized
professional development tool will be the re-introduction of Visual FoxPro sessions at TechEd and TechNet roadshows. If we can't start getting the attention of IT management through promotion in the stuff they read or the MS conferences they go to, we're dead meat in the long term regardless of the tireless efforts of the Fox Team.
In summary, if there is something we should be doing with a very large impact on VFP developers, it's finding out what in the hell we can do to get Fox back in the fold at the MS conferences, especially TechEd.
>Thanks for the input. Pehaps communication with the non-privy VFP community at large is what's at issue. I know my experience, as well as many, has been to attend TechNet road shows and hear MS presenters wax enthusiastically about many things, yet never mention VFP where relevant, or answer "I dunno" or *even* "I though it was dropped" when asked. Similar billing in DirectAccess. Read any ads?
