You mean "Dixedo", don't you < g >

There's almost enough material in there for a new version of its own. It'll be interesting to hear more about it once Microsoft representatives will be able to tell us more.

Toledo codename contest was *after* VFP7 was RTM'd - Sept. 4, 2001 (almost exactly one year ago) Codename search for next version of VFP Thread #552018 Message #552018

>>I suspect whether Nexedo gets developed depends strongly on sales of VFP7. MS has been extremely tight-lipped on VFP7 sales, both in volume figures and whether MS perceives it to be selling "well" or "well enough". I'd think that if sales were fantastic, MS reps here would be ebullient/upbeat and a roadmap including Nexedo would be already public and a "done deal". I suspect VFP7 sales - and whether Nexedo gets done - is a "near thing" in MS at the moment.

Well, we can speculate for 24 more days, can't we ;-)
