Pamela - you should be able to either purchase it directly for him and then ship it - or direct him to either the ShangHai or Hong Kong MS sales office - for HK see http://www.microsoft.com/hk/msdn/promotion/default.asp

If NONE of that works for you - contact Tech Data - they have a distro office in Nepal [see www.techdata.com]

>I just received an email from a developer in Nepal, who's supplier (from whom he purchased VFP5) has gone out of business. He has been frustrated trying to get an answer from the Microsoft website. Can I point him (and any others) in a solid direction for acquiring VFP8?

>Also, in the old days <bg> if someone had purchased VFP7 today, they would have received a free upgrade to VFP8 when it became available. Is there any provision for that sort of thing?
