Just received an offer in the mail from Microsoft for a "Migration Sourcebook CD" included for free with any order for VFP 5.0 or Visual Studio. (It says it is a $99.00 value).
Since we already have both VFP and VS, I called the phone number listed (888-216-9280) and asked if I could get this any other way.
The answer was Yes, Have you purchased VFP 5.0 or the upgrade, or purchased Visual Studio recently? I said "Yes, this company bought VFP a few months ago, and bought Visual Studio in the last 2-3 weeks".
The response was: "I'll set up that order for you." The part number is 098-71008.
After giving my Business address, etc., I asked if there was any shipping or handling charge... The answer was, "No, none, we will get that out for you."
There was never any comment like: "Oh, yes, I have found your invoice here" or anything like that.
