>Who told you this? If it is a beta tester, and it is true, they are in violation of their NDA. Microsoft has not publically said anything about it. Personally, I doubt this is true. Two DevCons ago, the VFP development team said that it would require a major rewrite of the VFP kernal to do this. Last DevCon, when many people asked for this, they seemed surprised. Tahoe was far into developement at that time. I doubt they would dig into a rewrite of the kernal at that point.

Craig, how many times have you been in a situation to explain to someone why something simply can't be done, and halfway through the story you get a lightbulb (or a real idea) of how the impossibility can be circumvented? Happens to me all the time - sometimes I just wish I started getting real lightbulbs instead of ideas, because I usually sit down to code them and never get enough sleep.

Could be (just a guesswork) someone at MSFT got a neat idea how to get around the limit with just a minor kernel rewrite?
