Issue 221 of 'Computer Shopper' has a covermount cd with the Express

editions of:

Visual Basic

Visual C#

Visual C++

Visual J#

Visual Web Developer

SQL Server

MSDN library

also

.Net Framework 2.0

afaik there is only *one* ms 'Visual' product missing!

I know this has been discussed before, but finding these products as mag

cover versions brought up short!

this has to be authorised by ms and is an obvious 'Loyola ploy' - we really

really need to persuade ms to release an Express version of Fox (we don't

have to tell 'em we are going to set up a viral distribution!)

I am convinced that this is the only hope for the legitimate expansion of

Fox usage

That's the U.K. edition, right? In the States we are up to #316.

This is old stuff and I have been away from this place for a couple of years. Seems to me that the VFP "movers and shakers" have acquiesced on the issue of M$ promoting VFP. So, you know, it ain't gonna happen.

PC Magazine for YEARS carried FileMaker as their #1 pick for user friendly DB app. Never reviewed VFP, won't even discuss it.

Good Luck!

Well, that might be due to FileMaker's people really aggressively

promoting it and providing tons of material/information to PC Magazine.

Would they consider reviewing it if M$ did the same effort for VFP? I

don't know.
