Hi FoxPro Users,

We are asking you to take a few minutes to respond to a brief marketing and support survey because you possess information that can be very helpful to us and to other FoxPro developers. This survey is being conducted by the ProMatrix Corporation, the developer of Visual ProMatrix for Visual FoxPro. The results of the survey will be posted to the ProMatrix Web (http://www.promatrix.com) for all interested parties to read and share. Accordingly, your input will not be exclusive to us but rather will be available to all survey participants and to all vendors of FoxPro third-party software products. While the survey is designed to provide information somewhat specific to ProMatrix, much of the information gleaned by the survey will be of interest to others as well.

We would like you to answer the brief survey questions listed below. In most cases, the questions can be answered simply yes or no.

Please use Internet email to respond to this survey. We do not want to clutter the Universal Thread with survey responses. Simply copy and paste the survey questions into an email message and send it to the email address "survey@promatrix.com".
