Microsoft announced today that Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0
has entered Beta 2 and will ship earlier than expected. Beta 2
is a closed beta for Visual FoxPro developers who have worked
closely with the Visual FoxPro team on previous beta versions of
the product.
"Visual FoxPro will be ready to ship late this
spring," said Ricardo Wenger, Visual FoxPro Group Manager.
"Our customers have told us that they want all the new
features we have been working on and we want to ship this
product as soon as we can." Continued....

A new feature at our meetings, VFP
Jump Start begins at 7:00pm. The
purpose of this half hour session will be to provide information
on some short topics which will be useful to our members.
This month we will be holding a brainstorming session to
determine what you, the members, want to hear about in future VFP
Jump Start sessions. So,
please join us from 7:00-7:30 for this discussion.
Bring topics for areas where you could use a bit of
enlightening, refreshing, etc.
Jonathan Melvin, from Vision
Implementers, Inc., will speak about a software framework that
allows very rapid application development. The framework executes
from a compact script which specifies data structures, views, and
work flow. The framework allows the script to execute the final
application, without requiring any screens or reports to be
programmed. An example is the LA Fox on-line survey, which took
one hour to create (see
example). The framework builds data entry screens and
reports on the fly as they are required by the user. The current
implementation of the framework is for Active Server Pages. It
runs web-based applications that use a Microsoft SQL Server back
end. Jon will discuss how the ideas of the framework could be
reimplemented in VFP to allow rapid deployment of VFP user
interfaces into VFP or remote SQL Server data tables.
