John... thanks for the reply. Granted its not that big a deal - you can get the module fairly easily. But i find it interesting that its not there. Is it because:

1) a VFP mm hasnt been around very long?
2) I.S. charges vendors for placing mm's in their products?
3) low sales/low demand influence what gets into IS, Wise, ... products?
4) of very little demand for it / microsoft hasnt pushed it?

Anyway, i've been using the IS lite version for a while now and like it. Am glad to see that VFP7 will ship w/ it. I'd just like to see that other IS versions have the mm as well.

I do see Access 97/2000, DBE, Jet, and VB Runtime merge modules (among others) but none for the red-haired stepchild. Also looked on the wisesolutions.com site just to see and they apparently do not ship one either.
