>>>I read in yesterday's newpaper that Microsoft and Intel are combining to produce a PC for automobiles, using the Windows CE OS. Given that certain announced functions will be data intensive (navagation systems, for example). It'll be interesting to see what, if any role, FoxPro has in this area. As a matter of curiousity, I'm wondering if there's currently any VFP software being produced for Windows CE?
