John, >> I've seen the bug list that SP2 fixes but does it give any new features?<<
Most service packs only fix bugs. They normally do not introduce features. The Fox Team has been a huge violator of this principle in the past, which may be the cause of your frustration with this service pack. If you read anything posted by Microsoft on the topic of VFP 9 SP2 you would know that the goal was to kill as many issues as possible, and from the Microsoft perspective the core product is feature complete. The release of Sedna does include numerous enhancements and features to VFP 9. This is expected to ship real soon now. There are also some enhancements to the Report Designer and the extensibility included in the VFP 9 SP2 release (just to show you the Fox Team is still up to their own tricks again). If you want to learn more about the changes head over to Spacefold.com and look for Lisa Slater Nichols and Colin Nichol's screen cast video on the topic. As to releasing a VFP app without synchronized run-times: when was this ever a good idea? If you want the app to perform the same in the run-time environment as it does in the development environment - then you should synchronize the run-times. Otherwise release at your own risk and at the risk of ticking off your customers. The new run-times have all the new fixes released in the service pack.
