>>I read Rick's email. I was not aware that there is a general agreement that the problems are all worked out with sp2.<<
SP2 (hotfix 3, latest and greatest) is not bug-free (no version of VFP is). But the killer bugs without a decent workaround introduced in Service Pack 2 have been addressed and squashed by Microsoft. You can read about the bugs on the Visual FoxPro Wiki, just search for SP2 to see a list of the bugs (some were not introduced in SP2 but are on the list) and another topic for the workarounds if you need them. >>We now have a very stable application installed in thousands of separate small offices. We do not want to do anything to upset that. We are just now rolling out some web services applications integrated with our existing software. I don't know if sp2 would have any advantage for us.<< This is a business decision as much as a technical decision. There are more than 100 bug fixes in VFP 9 SP2 vs. SP1. You should review the list and see if it makes sense for your app to be tested. Many of the bugs fixed are bugs found as far back as VFP 7 or even 6. Might be something you really can take advantage of with your app. Or maybe not, but you owe it to yourself and your customers to at least check into it when you have a chance.
