Hi Robert,
That is still true.
I have and had no doubts about this. Therefore I mentioned it.
But nevertheless I'm waiting for it, so I can get rid of the Vulcan runtime and the relative classes.

No, I do think this is correct... I believe there are just as many VFP apps running on DBC/DBF/CDX as there are using ODBC against Sql Server. X# better plan to support both.

Ok let me rephrase, if you not dependent on DBF for datastorage anymore and have all your add-on products in source code or don't use such libraries. There is pretty much nothing stopping you from starting a migration to X#. Valid for VO, or any other XBase language that is. Might be a bit tricky in the beginning, but as the DevTeam adds language support, it will get easier and easier, and you already getting comfortable with the X# language syntax by playing around with translating smaller utilities etc. Sorry "most" should be read as a "fair bunch of". Damn Afrikaans to English when you in a hurry... :dry:
