Working with FoxPro SP2 before its release

I don’t always recommend running beta software for production purposes but sometimes, when it’s good and solid, you can make your own products better or at the very least, make your development day easier.

Cesar has done a great job outlining many of the new features to be found in Sedna here:

In particular, the report enhancements to be found in the Visual FoxPro SP2 beta have been demo’d in a video by Lisa Nicholls – what looks really exciting is the ability to rotate text in a very easy way.

More importantly, Cesar has noted how he is working directly with “pieces” of SP2/Sedna today and how some are directly available without installing the “beta” version of Sedna. For example, you can download the My Namespace directly from Doug’s site and he also posted the new Report apps from SP2 on Foxite.
