Taking my cue from GerryS and yourself, I tried a few
searches on the latest MSDN Library (April 2003) and
then the same searches using the April 2002 MSDN Library.
The situation is, frankly, terrible - it is so
bad that I can only presume that I (we) must be missing
something. Either that, or efforts to promote .NET now
include purging references to non-.NET products. It is
also worth noting that the April 2003's README notes
twice in a row that this is intended only for systems
with .NET installed. I wonder what those who do not have
.NET yet are supposed to do and when they were warned
about these subtle implications?!?!?!

Item # 1 above provided a list of approx. 160 article references,
two of which had the work "FoxPro" in them. They were:
191624 INFO: Do Visual FoxPro Datasources Work Under MTS? 
191967 PRB: Visual FoxPro In-Process Servers Do Not Run Concurrently
and in both cases, clicking on the link resulted in the following:
"The Knowledge Base article you are trying to access is
not located in this collection.
You may view this article online at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto
Enter the Article ID in the 'Search For' box and select
'Article ID' as your search type.
".
Item #2 was there and it referenced 3 other articles, 2 of
which were present and one of which gave the same results as in item #1 above.
Item #3 was there and the 20 or so article references pertinent
to VFP all seemed available too (I only checked the first 5).
Item #4 was present and so was the single article link in it.
Item #5 was present but 2 of the 3 article links in it referring
to VFP gave the same response as noted in item #1 above (not here, go elsewhere).
Item #6 was present but 4 of the 5 article links in it referring
to VFP gave the same response as noted in item #1 above (not here, go elsewhere).
Item #7 was present and so was the single article link in it.
Item #8 was present.
Item #9 was present and so was the single article link in it.
Item #10 was present but all 14 of the article links in it referring
to VFP gave the same response as noted in item #1 above (not here, go elsewhere).
Item #11 was present and so was the single article link in it.
Item #12 was present but 3 of the 5 article links in it referring
to VFP gave the same response as noted in item #1 above (not here, go elsewhere).
Item #13 was present and so was the single article link in it.
It is worth noting that most are older and NONE are directly related to VFP.

Again, note how many of them relate directly to VFP and
how many of them are repeated from the prior list above!

Support until 2010 promises to be "interesting" if it keeps going like this!









>Mine installed to C:\Program Files\MSDN\2003APR\1033. It also created a desktop shortcut with a target of "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2003APR.1033 if you can decipher that :-)

>>Can you offer any insight on the matter?... I was wanting to do a semi-detailed check to learn what VFP bugs it continues to hold there.
