>>I agree with you 100% about usefulness of intellisense. And I often load VFP 7 to lookup a syntax using intellisense. I just don't have the confidence that VFP 7/8 is more stable than VFP 6 and therefore still maintain my customers' applications in VFP 6. Actually I was about to jump into VFP 8 when I discovered that bug mskb #
Q190496 was not fixed in 7 and 8. This bug broke a lot of my code, where I had to jump through hoops to get around it. And I was looking forward to removing my "work-arounds" after upgrading to VFP 8 when I was really surprised that the bug is still there.

I hope you are kidding (at least that is how I understand your ":)"). Because if they don't fix this problem and the problem discovered by Igor in this thread, they won't see my money :-).
As far as testing and debugging. I am happy if I have time to test for my own bugs. I certainly don't have time to test for VFP bugs.
