And the third still under development with 2 people.

I dont't think you understood the gist of my question. What does VFP.net refer to?
I have been around long enough to know the history of Foxpro, I started in Foxpro 1.x many years ago.
My question is more the use of VFP.net. If you are refering to http://www.etecnologia.net, there isn't a single reference to VFP.net on their site that I could see (VFP might even be a trademark of Microsoft as far as I know). I see VFP developper sutdio and VFP compiler for .net but that is it. That is why I am confused as to why you would want the category called VFP.net when it isn't directly tied to http://www.etecnologia.net, and in the process you are suggesting that the category should only include questions about http://www.etecnologia.net's product but not the two others.

I do like to hear it, but don't make it an exclusive club.
