>>I'd think so. VS.NET still seems quite a ways down thre road and all the rumblings I've heard here on the UT would indicate a June release for VFP7. For example, VooDoo is apparently going to be unveiled in June but we've specifically been told that it cannot (for legal reasons) be released before VFP7. 2 + 2 still equals 4. <g>

On the other hand, the last thing I want is for it to be released before it is ready, always hoping that it is more 'ready' than 6.0 turned out to be. In fact I feel that a repeat of 6.0 would be very bad for VFP's future.

I have a high degree of confidence that the next release of VFP will be a good release.
