Tom,
Reading what you wrote:
"Perhaps your problems will be resolved with the introduction of Visual FoxPro 8.0. Then again it might take a service pack release to resolve issues with Visual FoxPro 8.0 when it does hit the market. Let us hope that Visual FoxPro 8.0 does not require a service pack as none may be issued." Made me wonder if it is not a good idea to have VFP 8.0 beta available for download (please see message 694581). As more people tests it, it would require less time to fix it, and reduce the chance (and need) in having a service pack soon after is released.
BTW, people that'll attend DevCon won't get a copy of it? Think that if Michel was contacted to put the VFP 8.0 beta for download in UT (it would be downloaded by people of the community), he would consider thinking about this idea.
Of course this is my modest opinion <s>
Regards,
Fernando
