>I don't know about you Paul, but I personally feel that the VFP 8 beta title should be removed and replaced with something more elegant like -- VFP 7 SP2. In so doing, the release would be more widely available to people like you and me, who have soooo much money to spend on new releases. It's either that or we just send another invoice to the client! ;-)

Gordon;

After all these years of using Microsoft and other development tools I finally got the message. It is all a matter of subtle marketing and timing. Just tell all your clients that Microsoft is about to release a new version of Visual FoxPro and you have to re write all applications you have previously delivered. A payment up front of 20% is required and payable upon receipt of this notice. That should do it.

You say your clients do not care? What is wrong with clients? :)
