>I am guessing that the answer will be "when its ready", but I was wondering if anyone could say when the (next) VFP7 service pack will be released. I am still doing a (crappy) workaround because ADOX does not index tables like it's supposed to.

With regards to when SP1 for VFP 7.0 will be available for download, I don't have an exact date to tell you as to when it will be online for download, but expect it to be sometime in mid to late January (2 to 4 weeks from now).
