>That's good to know. I'm uncertain about VFP's MSDN status now that it's out of Visual Studio, though. Visual Studio (the Enterprise Edition, anyway) is evidently included only with MSDN Universal, not Professional. On the other hand, the MSDN web site says that it provides "A password-protected site for active Universal and Professional subscribers to immediately access the latest Microsoft development software as it releases." Since VFP is development software, that implies it's available to Professional subscribers too. Can anyone confirm this? (Mike, Garrett...)

Our first MSDN subscription was in 1997 and was the Professional Level, since then we've been Universal. In checking my records (such as they are< g >), it appears that VS wasn't included. I would assume, if that was the case, that you'd have to be at the Universal level to get the "priority" level service. IOW, get it early.

Hopefully, Mike or Garrett can clarify.
