Yes I just see from coverage from Frankfurt. It sound good.

But seem that the improvement are not as much as I thought, at least the sub-report, cross tab report,chart(eg. pie,bar chart),drill down feature and WEB reporting are not being highlighted.

I just hope it will not be something like grid improvement in VFP8 : A lot of limitation, and even .NET offer better grid control in some aspect like hierarchical Data grid.

The main issue is if MS will promote VFP as report writer for .NET, then VFP at least have a strong point for MS to keep it alive and treat the development seriously.

Further it must keep VFP work with .Net and furture SQL server. Further enchance like WEB reporting ability and so on.

MS will also ensure there are enough resource for VFP to evolve innovatively.


Just my 2cents.


Regard.
