>I wonder how many good VFP developers there are in India?

I'll give you my experience..........

The coding for the application I support (mainframe people don't understand that we are analysts, designers, coders all rolled into one) was outsourced to India to be supported by someone that had 5 years experience in MS languages but no Fox training. In a PRG (really a clone of a FPW2.6 SPR file) there is a line
@ 2,5 GET m.ocper;
PICTURE "@^ 80%;70%;60%;50%";
etc.
I sent him a message.
1. Store "@^ 80%;70%;60%;50%" in a variable
2. If the function PFO_EXCEPT() returns true, add ";40%;30%" to the variable
3. Use that variable in the PICTURE clause

This, apparantly, was beyond his capabilities.

Granting that he had no prior exposure to fox, he had taken a 40 hour training program in VFP 6. I still fear for my users whenever they need a "real" programming change to the system.

SET MASSIVE BITTERNESS OFF. (Yeah right)
