Perry,

>But I believe that Anders discussed it in his interview that VFP is not looked on too highly by the programming industry. I've discussed this in general with some of my dotnet friends. Their question to me is typically along the lines of what can VFP do for them. They don't see a need for VFP type functionality to be ported over.

And if they ever see new Fox-like features added to .NET and understand what it all means, they'll probably be raving about the great new breakthroughs in working with data.

>The people who seem to be screaming the loudest are VFP developers.

Because we know from first-hand experience what is possible with local cursors that can be further manipulated with SQL commands. Sometimes people don't know what they're missing because they don't know what they're missing. :-)
