>>While I was messing around with Visual Foxpro and SQL Server, I suddenly realize what I think is needed to really make Visual Foxpro a serious tool for many organizations. Bundling of Visual Foxpro with upcoming lite version of SQL Server would be ideal!!! This will really boost Visual Foxpro's status in following way:
>>1) It would definitely get much more press coverage than there ever been.
>>2) It would almost show that MS is serious about pushing VF as a client/server front-end tool, not just as another PC-database tool.
>>3) Instant upgrade path from .DBC w/o going to full fledge SQL Server.
>>4) etc. etc. etc.

Saying this says that you do not follow what is really happening.

1) VB and VFP are so different, they cannot be the same product.
2) Visual Studio will somewhat merge several products in that they will share
- debugger
- report designer
- menu designer
- form designer
- possibly query designer


Saying the things that you say only helps to confuse the issue with
developers...and our clients. Please stick to the facts and stop
speculating.
