That ER may or may not make it into the product being tested. It might wait until the next version. For example, I was a beta tester for VFP 7 and during the NDA beta cycle, I suggested that the window docking be persistant. That request, at the time, had to remain under NDA and did not make it into VFP7, but is now part of VFP8.

Thank you, Craig!!! It is exactly that last sentence that I am working towards and I really hope that our MVPs will act accordingly.

As for the NDA implications, I *think* I did understand...
A beta NDA was positively not the subject of this stuff here. It was told to me by several that the private channels (of the non-beta variety) are under NDA too. I understood this to be their justification for not putting certain stuff here or ERs into the UT Wish List. So I asked that they please use the UT Wish List for ERs that they would otherwise have used the private channels for (meaning, of course, the non-beta related ERs). That way they could continue their NDA obligations yet all of us could be aware of more wishes for the product.

Your example of a beta ER not making it but remaining under NDA is a good one, and I can understand the restriction.

thanks
