>Here's what I could get out of the Monday night session preview of
>the upcoming VFP6, code named Tahoe:

>Full support for Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS)
> o VFP single threading changed to apartment model threading
> o MTS will manage multiple instances of VFP6 for you
> o allows VFP to fully participate in Visual Studio as a tool
> that can be used for building true scalable components
>Active Documents
> o Scrollbar property (None, Horizontal, Vertical, Both) so
> VFP6 will reflect behavior shown in Internet Explorer (IE)
> o OLEDragAndDrop Property
>And More...
> o INDEXSEEK function which allows you to find a key value within
> an index *without* moving the record pointer
> o AGETCLASS and AVCXCLASSES to obtain class info without
> opening the class
> o all of the file functions normally contained in FOXTOOLS.FLL
> are now native to the VFP language
> o NEWOBJECT function
> o _INCLUDE=
> o hyperlink component for forms (as seen in Office 97 Access)
> o GIF file support with preview capability when picking file
> o VARTYPE function to use with objects
> o capability to compare form name with _screen
> o every base class has AddProperty
> o TRANSFORM function will take any data type and automatically
> convert it to a string (i.e., no DTOC needed for {09/15/97})
> o STRTOFILE function (instead of FOPEN)
> o FILETOSTR function
> o and much, much more.
