For detailed answers, Bill Yater said everything I would have, but here's the basics:

>What is VFP to you? How would you categorize it?
It is my tool of choice because my background is Fox. I considered it to be the best tool for developing data-centric apps in n-tier environments.


>What would you say are your primary reasons for using the product? What does it do best?
>It's database engine, if there was an alternative that was faster I probably wouldn't be here. As far as what is does best, see Yater's response.


>Thanks for your indulgence.
And thank you for the interesting question.
