That near re-write between version 2.6 and 3.0 is the reason that I will never ever ever again use a Microsoft Development platform.
Before Fox Software Sold out they strongly stressed the importance of backwards compatibility. This was one of the reasons why we picked FoxPro. Our application was a large financial database pplication with hundreds of screen files in the user interface.
After Microsoft bought Fox Software they created this abortion called VFP 3.0. Nothing in the user interface was backwardly compatible. The UI would have to be completely rewritten if we ever got funding. If we did get funding for a rewrite we vowed that we would not use anything from Microsoft. We never did get funding. We ran along earning a meager living off the maintennance contracts of previously installed clients for a few years. Unable to sell our product we were layed off one by one.
If you develop on Microsoft do not trust them to guarantee the continued existance of your development platform.
I now work for a former direct competitor that chose Progress as a patform. Sweet platform.
