>Your attitude certainly won't help any. There have been great stride forward in makeing the product more visible both inside and outside Microsoft. If you have sales reps saying these things, you need to tell them the way it is. Here in Salt Lake, I am currently working with the Microsoft sales group to make VFP more visible. We (the VFP developers) have to help. Don't expect Microsoft to do it all.

Craig,

I am interested, what perspective do the Microsoft Sales group have on the current situation?? I am constantly pushing VFP to everyone and anyone I can, but apart from when VFP3 came out I can't remember hearing anything from Microsoft to sell it.

My only consolation is that every time a copy of Visual Studio gets sold, someone gets a copy of Fox along with. Some of these people must be trying it out given that it's there and it's 'free' with VS.

As far as all the negative vibes about Fox go, if the Fox community can't be positive about Fox and keep using it, we really are in trouble.
