Ah, I see... I guess I misunderstood what Sedna was. I thought it was a new product, not an add-on to VFP9. Thanks, I've downloaded it and will stick it on. In a nutshell, is there anything earth shatteringly useful? Is it included in SP2, which I also just downloaded, but haven't applied yet.

No SP2 and Sedna are sperate. Part of Sedna are dbi Controls that require SP2 to be present (more a license issue than a techncal one). So if you want to use them you'd first install SP2 then Sedna. IIRC it's really a seperate download from dbi.

You have Vista Dialogs 4 COM is really nice to have for vista. Upsizing Wizard and Data Explorer (for SQL Server usage) really are good improved. My is nice, saves some winapi declarations and helps to easier discover some functions there. It's intellisense for several system related stuff. Net4Com helps you to integrate a part of the .net Framework functions into VFP, it's quite like MY for .net Framework relate stuff.

The last part, the "VS 2005 extension for vfp" or DDEX is really not extension for vfp, but for VS to easily have vfp data as a data provider in Visual Studio.

It's explained in detail here:

Here you find seperate downloads of dbi controls and latest versions of all the sedna components.

Bye, Olaf.
