Yes, it's still 2.5 and I told them about VFP about 7 years ago. :))) That causes sometimes troubles with code pages in interaction with other apps. For example, one my latest application for tax purposes (in VFP 6 - yeaaaahhh!!! :) which takes the company tax business by storm :) has to work on the same tables with FPD 2.5 app. So the tables are actually 2.6 tables with code page set, but guess what happens if somebody forgets and MODI STRU or PACK them in FPD 2.5... :)
