I presented evidence before making that statement. I think it was the first message of the thread. It was not 'matter of fact'. Furthermore, look at what Strahl, Petersen, Macneish, Hentzen and other Foxpro heavyweights are saying. Add to this some of the statistics cited... and i'd have to stand by my statement that VFP 5 and 6 sold way way better than VFP 8.

If you have any evidence contridicting this I'd be glad to view it. If all you wanna do is play semantic word games I'll pass.
