Hi Joel,

Yes, I saw this yesterday and posted a message to that effect as a followup reply to Evan Delay's observation of a mention that first appeared at http://www.dotnetwire.com/. As I said in my previous posting (http://www.levelextreme.com/wconnect/wc.dll?FournierTransformation~?2,15,528434 ), this is a real positive step. I believe the last time VFP got any mention was in MSDN Flash, Volume 5, Number 5, March 19, 2001, where the announcement read thus:

* Visual FoxPro 7.0
This has entered Beta 2 and is shipping earlier than expected. VFP 7.0 will not be included in the upcoming Visual Studio.NET product but will continue to be available via MSDN Subscriptions. Microsoft will continue to support FoxPro developers worldwide by improving and advancing their favorite tool in version 7.0 and beyond.

The latest blurb in MSDN Flash is certainly good news. Again, I'm sure we all look forward to more such tidbits in the appropriate places.

Mike
