If Europa changed VFP capabilities and functions to that extent then the world would be flocking to buy Europa...

>Hopefully Europa won't make the sample application's code look too bad. By this I mean that hopefully, Europa won't have made things so simple that one line native function calls would replace many lines of code. Of course this is a good thing in itself, but, it could make the sample app look like a bad example to do things the way the current Tasmanian Trader is today.

>>When then the final accepted UT sample application could be turned over to MSFT then MSFT could add in just examples of using Europa's new features... since they can't divulge any of it yet nor provide it to use for this purpose...

>>>>I agree. It also has to include most (if not all) of the latest version of VFP8's new features too (can't do Europa because MSFT would have to release a beta of it)... Perhaps this should be posted under the Universal Thread section...see if Michel and other UT members are interested at all...hmmmmmm, other than the respect and admiration of your peers, what would the prize be? I wonder if I could guess ahead of time who the winners would be (if it were a fun competition where more than one group attempted to do it)? If not a good hearted competition, then maybe enough UT developers would interested in participating in the project as a single team or like the gnu stuff out there is handled?

>>>>>>Since MSFT has limited resource devoted to VFP for business reasons, but many VFP developers use it as their primary source of income, perhaps a group of UT VFP developers could get together and design a really good VFP Sample Application that will both show good design strategies and also show off VFP's features. Sort-of like the UT competition we had not too long ago where each country had a team? We all really enjoyed it and benefited from it. However, instead of a 'speed race' this time we could have a set but reasonable time frame and maybe more would participate? I think while many think this should be MSFT's responsibility, we ALL would benefit from it regardless of who does it as long as it is done right...
