My suggestion is "Burney". Because Burney, Ca is a beautiful town in northern California. It is a small but growing community, much like VFP is a small but growing community. It is in California, but not much like what most people think California is like. Similar to how the VFP team and the VFP product are not much like other teams and products at Microsoft. It is easy to say (repeat Burney three times fast to experience the way it roles off the tongue). Teddy Roosevelt once said Burney Falls, of Burney Falls state park, was the eighth wonder of the world and I’m sure Rushmore is at least the eighth wonder of the database world. Nobody's heard of it and I'm constantly saying it's an hour east of Redding. Much like when I mention VFP and then have to say it's made by Microsoft and similar to VB but specifically for database apps. I could go on but the bottom line is I grew up there and it would be cool.

>Each version of Visual FoxPro (like most Microsoft products) select a codename that is used both internally at Microsoft and during the beta process before the product is officially announced and given a formal name. While the Fox team at Microsoft is actually working on the next version of VFP, we have yet to select a code name. Last time for VFP 7.0 we did a vote internally and the name which I had suggested "Sedona" was voted by the Fox team members. This time, I would like the Fox community to select the code name, or at least suggest some recommendations that we can pick from. I will list some previous code names below for reference along with a few suggested guidelines. I hope this thread is actively participated on and that members of the UT work together to come up with a codename that people agree on (not a huge list of random names). Try to actually use this thread to not only suggest codenames but to vote on them and work as a community to suggest the right one to the
>Fox team. I'll be monitoring the thread and chiming in as needed.

>As you can see, the early theme was Warner Brother cartoons, but now that AOL owns WB, I suggest we avoid those names. <s> The theme lately is either a city or some widely recognized landmark (a mountain or something). I will post a reply if anyone suggest a name that is already being use or has been used by other Microsoft product codenames. Another suggestion is to select a codename with one or two syllables, but not one with three or more because it is too much to say when it is spoken so frequently.
