>People in China told me the VFP8 will be distributted in the next year >March.And I was told that many people use VFP + SQLSERVER MODE to develop >system.And VFP8 will join the .net platform.Is it true?

I hope this, but I'm not sure that Microsoft will suceed do this. I Hope that next VFP will be NET. We already make something on VS.NET Beta2 and my programmers like it.
In our standard presentation(I hope you can see it in UT part - Cosulting Companies )is written
We develop database applications mainly with Visual FoxPro 6.0/7.0 - front-end & web and SQL Server 7.0/2000 back-end applications. Visual Bsic we use to create ActiveX controls, which are not available in VFP. Visual C++ we use to create drivers with printers, bar-code readers, scales, etc.
We have developed Visual FoxPro technology - the same VFP6.0/7.0 front-end to work either with DBF's, free MSDE or with SQL Server7.0/2000 back-end.
Decision which platform to choose depend on how big is the firm and it's bussiness
for small and meduim firm with small quantity of issued documents - client-server apps with DBF's
for firm with small staff, but with large quantity of documents - MSDE
for large firms(banks) - 1 or more SQL servers(if more with data replication)
We need of fast dataprocesing tools of VFP, but now all look at web based apps, that's why we need VFP.NET
