I thought there was a free download of the desktop version....
Mike, what I don't understand is this: If you are qualified enough to be qualified to criticize Microsoft for what you perceive as their lack of marketing why would you on the other hand be unqualified to wwrite an article? You obviously have enough experience to know what's good for VFP and no rookie would be able to make those kinds of judgements without a lot of experience I'd think.
I'd bet you could do a great job! I'm working on a VFP <--> W2K Fax Services idea and goodness knows I have a lot more to learn.
Best,
DD
