Michel,

VFP6 was distributed in Visual Studio, which itself does have Service Packs 1-5 inclusive (because I have them in hand). I don't know if there were other service packs beyond that, nor do I know if VFP6 was distributed outside of VS6 and may have had it's own SPs for that distribution.

I still think listing "Other" under databases is the only practical way to go. I've heard of many different ones and some new one could pop up tomorrow. For instance, I think I've heard "Firebird" as one. You could put "Other (pls. name in body)".

Finally, the network OS and type of network remain important factors in helping others to debug problems. Especially if peer-to-peer, but also Novell, SAMBA?, etc.

Jim

>>Also, I feel that all lists should be listed with more common at the top (and going downwards where versions are concerned). So VFP should probably be listed VFP9 first... FPD last. OSs should be, in my opinion, XP first, Win2K second, Win2003 third and the rest by age.
