Allen, If you have been paying attention you would already know Microsoft is releasing all the XBase source code (aka XSource) for the various XBase components they have in FoxPro, and will be putting these into CodePlex so others can enhance them to their hearts content and then release them so other developers can use them. Microsoft has already released most of them to the community based on changes made to the XSource EULA after VFP 9 was released.
The Sedna components are the next set of "XSource" components Microsoft is releasing soon and will be placed into CodePlex.

Onto codeplex ? what does that mean. A few projects (which in them selves are great) or VFP itself. I wonder. nar no way that would be, well suicide. Allen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Bourke ""For Microsoft to continue to evolve the FoxPro base, we would need to look at creating a 64-bit development environment and that would involve an almost complete rewrite of the core product. We've also invested in creating a scalable database with SQL Server, including the freely available SQL Server Express Edition. As far as forming a partnership with a third-party is concerned, we've heard from a number of large FoxPro customers that this would make it impossible for them to continue to use FoxPro since it would no longer be from an approved vendor. We felt that putting the environment into open source on CodePlex, which balances the needs of both the community and the large customers, was the best path forward.""
