Thanks Yag - greatly appreciated.

I thought it was simply an oversight.

I'll bet you loved the message thread.

Is it possible to include the fix as described in:

Vista compatibility is a promise.

I am thrilled SP2 has been released, despite the odd splash screen. Great job as far as I can see so far.

I did look it up and noticed that the OLE DB Provider for VFP did get updated as well. Fantastic !!

So there is no oversight, could someone who has the "juice" there at MS make sure the separate download link for the OLE DB Provider for VFP gets updated appropriately?

This is the current URL, which shows for SP1 level :

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0

Thanks.

After installing SP2 I noticed that tooltips for grid columns and headers don't display any more.

Can this feature be restored in the product?

Now that SP2 has been out a short time, there are some rumblings voiced throughout the Fox community.

After a discussion of the bug fix list of SP2, some have stated that they thought the fixes were arcane and that the miniscule number of Windows Vista incompatibilities fixed were of concern to them because they have seen far more issues posted in various forums on the web.

And here is one post from the VFUG List Server:

If the Vista issues are not fixed, there's really no reason for me to distribute new runtimes to thousands of users. I never had any of the issues listed on the bug fix list.

I am very disappointed,

where are the promised bugfixes for Windows Vista? This SP is not very valuable for me. When I see the messages of other VFP users relating to the new bugs (e.g. tooltips on grid header and column), I think it is better not to install the SP

I am disappointed, too.

The window behaviour of vfp forms on vista is unacceptable. If you move the mouse over the title bar, vfp shows the old win2k-style min- and max-buttons which don't even work! Very sluggish work after all the months that we waited....
