Hi Hani,

I think you should.
Choose the one that you are the best at.

As you can see from the rest of this thread, problem you placed
here can be resolved in almost no time, and I can freely say
by many people here on UT.

So I don't think it is VFP as tool that is problemmatic here.
Take a wild guess what is.
