Yeah, and if you'll remember, the one wide open forum was the chat with the vfp team that was killed pretty quickly. It wasn't perfect, but, at least it was something...
>Wow, Claude, I had not noticed that 'trend' before ("If you notice any posts where the technologies of vfp and VS.NEt overlap, you won't see any support from the microsofties for it") but it sure seems to me that you are on target here.

>Since my 'world' includes only marginal web application developement it went unnoticed but I can see how it surely is a grave concern to those whose bread and butter is web stuff. And MS' "quality" Help/KB facilities - every product/service - only makes such work that much tougher.

>>Excellent post E C. And is it too much to ask to have a vfp data product manager that's not trying to sell us on VS.NET and every other new technology, but, is interested in supporting vfp? It's pretty obvious Ken is trying to sell as many MS products as possible here. If you notice any posts where the technologies of vfp and VS.NEt overlap, you won't see any support from the microsofties for it. Ask a question about foxisapi or web services or even multi-threading for vfp. I bet you the party line coming from MS is to not promote or support such questions with vfp because it eats away at the other products...
>>>Sorry, I may be wrong, but do you think it may have something wrong when 80% of new VFP are base on customer feedback?
>>>
>>>I am not saying that base on customer feedback are not good, but Microsoft are No.1 software company in the world and always come out unique, modernest, invnovative and creative idea to lead the development of IT.
>>>
>>>But now VFP development become more and more passive rather then active.
>>>
>>>Further, even the enchance are base on customer, the progress are too slow. How long the grid, report writer and object menu are requested ?
>>>
>>>I hope then VFP will improve much more aggressive in furture version and will not leave behind by the world.
>>>
>>>TIA.
