I think you're spot on, Steve. I believe Ken has astutely decided the first major marketing effort for Foxpro needs to be internal and he is focusing his efforts on convincing MS that Fox can be a useful player in their over-all strategy and call sell SQL server licenses. If he accomplished that, Fox's future is secure.
>Improving the "Promise" of VFP is not an overnight process. But of the things identified in the "Promise" component, the education of Micorsoft reps is the major problem, this arguaby by far. Mike, this is happening, and by my reckoning it's happening faster than I could have possibly hoped. It's still not nirvana, far from it, but I think we should cut slack where it's due and give Ken a big attaboy for making great gains in this area.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
