I can, but only when wearing my hat labeled "MARKETING".

I would say that Michel may well have a point... if VFP has an 'anniversary', then SQl Server had better have one too. At least VFP's came first.

>Information Week recently published an article on this anniversary at http://www.informationweek.com/story/IWK20021114S0021. Quoting the article: "Microsoft got into the relational database market with Sybase's help back in 1987, when it negotiated the right to co-develop and resell Sybase's system. The deal ended after seven years, and Microsoft took over full-time development of its own version of the platform."
