Hi Jos,

>In the second case, for a data oriented app, VFP wins hands down becuase it has its own native database and cursor technology which .Net does not have *natively*. Any technology you plug into .Net to handle the database end of things, eg SQL, can equally well be plugged into VFP and hence cannot be used as the differentiating factor between the two.

>Anyway, .Net can do everything. VFP is dead. Learn .Net and then be outsourced to India/Eastern Europe/China.

Thanks, I needed that laugh. What about south africa ?? Anyways, I might better stick with VFP as it now becomes a niche that might pay as good as COBOL programmers :)
