>I agree. I had my first crash since September on VFP 7 yesterday. It was a C0000005 error. And, that crash came after the Windows Print manager was invoked. So, it might have been externally related. I created a thread about it as I never got it so far. I never had to reboot since September because of Visual FoxPro. So, I agree as well to say that it is extremely solid. I worked with it a lot every day and it's been delivering so far.


Mine's solid too since SP1. But the general issue was not the stability of VFP but about the reporting of bugs in VFP.
