>I really never understood what the bitching was about. I never really had a problem with ISX VFP edition. In fact, I liked it so much I upgraded to the full blown ISX. I would also bet IS benefitted quite well from this partnership with VFP as have countless VFP developers.

I think the bitching was the result of not being able to do an upgrade (think new SP) without first uninstalling the application. JMT
