Ken,

>This is completely incorrect, there has been no announcement publicly and no discussions within Microsoft that the next version of VFP is the last version. The only way to help solve this problem is for you to provide me with the names of the Microsoft employees who stated this incorrect information. That is the only way it can be corrected in the short term. In the near future, all Microsoft field people will received information in their mail slot about VFP 7.0 in a printed color brochure, and also get summary information about Microsoft's strategy and commitment to VFP. If anyone at your company is in question about this, forward my comments to them and make sure they view the Steve Ballmer video clip on VFP 7.0 at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro.

Cool...I e-mailed you with the addresses of my CIO and the guy in charge of new development...they should be receptive to any comments you have, and should be able to get you specifics on the MS reps they talked to...

They have already been forwarded the Steve Ballmer blurb and pointed to the VFP web site, in addition to any other resources we could find (of which there were plenty... *smile*).

I apologize for publicly posting this...I will e-mail you directly with any other future concerns.

Thanks!
Joe Kaufman
