I am sure that they will (assuming they meet the minimum standards of accuracy and technical content) be published, and they even pay for accepted articles. (I have also heard that FoxPro Advisor has also been struggling for quite some time to find people willing to write. So it may not be just a FoxTalk issue).

I know for me that there are a couple of things that keep me from submitting articals

1) I'm not a writer and probably wouldn't write it well.

2) I don't think I've done much that would help other people out. The last two things that I can think of that is more than just normal VFP stuff is I added VB Script to a FoxPro project with the Active-X ScriptControl. I don't know how many FoxPro people would like to know that here's how you can add some VB Script to your project. The other is we setup a Webservice for M$ SourceSafe but that's pretty much how we develop things and not really how everyone else would, because our software is FDA.
