>> It's not obvious from my reading of the issue that MS was a "co-sponsor" - which is probably both a good and bad thing! <g> There wasn't even a single MS ad!

Hi Rick. Well, the entire magazine is an add. I think it is a 72 page issue, and most of those pages are detailed articles on VFP 8.0, so in reatlity there are many advertising pages of VFP. I would hope people find this much more useful than a one or two page ad that has a high level paragraph of VFP and a link to microsoft.com. I consider this issue of Code one big VFP 8.0 ad, as well as being a create technical resource for developers who are evaluating or using VFP 8.0. And all the articles are online at http://code-magazine.com/focus which to me is a nice list of VFP 8.0 whitepapers to compliment what we will be adding to the MSDN Library.
