Russell,

May I take this opportunity to suggest that you cast your vote for UT Wish #1552.

cheers

>Yeah, it seems that they have decided it's best to keep us in the dark. It used to be that you could get a bug list and a bug fix list. The bug list was helpful when you ran into something that didn't seem to be caused by your code. Were you facing a VFP bug (and was there a workaround) or should you keep looking at your code? The list is also helpful when you want to upgrade. What are the known bugs and do any of them amount to a show stopper for you? (A molehill to one application is a mountain to another.) I think it's a developer's responsibility to ensure that there are no bugs that will seriously affect his/her users, but MS has no desire to help you do this. They release absolutely no information for a "dot-oh" release.

>The bug fix list was just good info so that you could confirm that something that you wanted fixed did get fixed. I did find some separate lists for that, but of course they like to publish that info. The bug list is something they want to keep under wraps.
