Thanks Joel - I will read those references, but I was wondering about the Codemine Beta for VFP.

>>I have until recently been diverted into some .net work, so I haven't been monitoring the situation. Any news on the vfp 9 beta, I notice the last release was in June. Also, any feeling about the viability of the product, I've always been happy with it, but where are things going?

>Q: What will be added to VFP after version 9.0 is released?
>A: It is too early to discuss this, we release VFP 9.0 later this year. At the Advisor VFP DevCon conference, we will be announcing and showing some things we have planned for VFP after 9.0, so stay tuned. The VFP team welcomes feedback on how we can improve our developer tools in the future based on what is disclosed for VFP 9.0 and Visual Studio 2005. Details of how we enhance Visual FoxPro, how it is packaged, what it is called, and when updates will be released probably will not be disclosed until the first half of 2005.
