Thanks for the reply!

>You will not be able to distribute/deploy applications with the beta, it is for developer testing, experimenting, and learning only. Plus, you would not want to do this since there will be known issues in the beta and results would be unpredictable. But in saying that, the VFP 9.0 beta will be the most stable beta in the history of VFP betas. There will be a timebomb, and it will expire on a date next year, while we have plans to release VFP 9.0 near the end of this year, so there will be plenty of time to upgrade to the released version before the beta expires.
