>SP1 for Visual FoxPro 8.0 is in beta now and will be released sometime in September 2003 online for free download

Thank you very much for the info. I had waited some time before rolling out my vfp8 versions to see if there'd be an SP1 (a large lockdown-deployment is tricky here). I had just about given up on an SP, and was preparing to rollout the vfp8 upgrades. But I can easily wait 2 months for SP1, if it means one less rollout hassle (and maybe some important bug fixes, as well).
