Cathy’s posting a workaround for the bug she reported earlier with Visual FoxPro SP2 but the deafening silence from the Redmond camp is kind of annoying. We all looked forward to having a single solid release of VFP from which we could build solutions around – but one that wouldn’t be introduce major new problems … Read more
I was concerned a while back about where VFPSolutionExplorer.com had gone – it’s nice to see that Craig Bailey has re-forwarded it to the FoxTabs page on this blog.

This is great news! Kevin Ragsdale’s Desktop Alerts, which he has showcased in various meetings, is now part of the VFPX project. If you haven’t seen it – basically imagine having the Outlook 2003 Desktop alerts within your own FoxPro application. Very cool and an awesome addition! FoxPro VFP
