>Cathy,
>I've entered several bugs thru the VFP bug web page and the problem is I have no idea if they've been looked at, prioritized, laughed at, forgotten, etc. I feel that if the known bugs were posted here on the UT, I'd at least get some sort of feedback...

Trust me .. they all get looked at and entered into their internal bug tracking system. The team analyzes them and considers factors such as severity of bug, risk of data loss, risk of breaking other pieces if this is changed, behavior changes and how it affects existing code out in the field, visibility of the bug, how many people would likely run into it, and so on.

These are all the same factors that any software developer should look at when reviewing a bug report! If we were all to analyze our apps, I'm sure we can all say that there are some known bugs in our system but we just don't have the resources to address each one .. especially the very obscure ones. And I'm sure most of us would also have to say that we don't "publish" a list of these bugs to our clients!!!!
