Craig,

Thanks for the responses!

>You'll need the name of the MS rep before Ken can set him straight. For the record, I had extensive conversations with Ken, Ricardo Wenger, Randy Brown, and others from the Fox team when I was in San Diego. At no point was there even a hint that 8.0 will be the last. I'll believe them before some bozo sales rep out in the field.

I have e-mailed Ken with the e-mail addresses of my managers so they can tell him which MS reps gave out the information and so that Ken can give them some "real" info on the situation. *smile*

>Also, remind your managers, that we've heard the same thing about every version of Fox. You should play the Steve Balmer video for them, or at the least give them the link to the transcript. It's pretty clear that VFP will continue.

Done and done...we forwarded links to the Ballmer page and video as well as lots of sites with white papers and other Foxpro-related stuff. Overall there is a massive body of work out there, and that's without even mentioning the UT!

I think the issue is well in hand...from your other reply, I agree that even Java can't be guarnteed past 3 years, but I think the perception of growth and number of developers still makes managers thing of Java as a more "stable" tool than VFP. But that doesn't change the fact that VFP is plenty stable enough and can get the job done...
