You are joking I hope??
Microsoft positioned VFP as the development tool of choice for middleware objects. Now you're saying that we won't be able to use VFP with Yukon except in compatibility mode!! I bet that excludes using the varchar data type of any length?
Now I'm beginning to doubt that your job title is accurate.
It sounds to me like we're either going to have to use VFP with VFP data, or .Net with Yukon data, and I know which way the world will go.
