No one said they would NOT fix any bugs. Microsoft said it plans to support VFP to the committed dates (2015), announced they have fixed the Help SP2 file, and have one bug fix ready for the report designer.

How does this interpret into NOT fixing bugs? The team was receptive to the discussion. I think in itself this is good news.

I just don’t understand why MS won’t fix the bugs. MS will support VFP all through 2014, 2015, no?

Jim,

You really need to install SP2 now more than ever. If the Fox Community does not install SP2, there is a lower chance the bugs will be revealed and no chance for them to fix them. See my blog post on how to install all versions of VFP 9 on one machine if you need help in doing this important task.

As to Sedna, as Andrew states, it has been released for months already. You can download it from the Microsoft VFP site.

Jim,

What news were you looking for on the Sedna project? It’s out and in the wild on http://www.codeplex.com/vfpx.

That is good news, I’ve been postponing installing SP2 mainly because of statments regarding a mumber if issues with the SP.

Has there been any news on the Sedna project?

Lovely, Rick! Have they fixed the bug with the wrong data showing up in the group header yet?
