>Hi all,
>I've recently been offered a job to convert a company's existing FoxPro
2.6 DOS applications using 2 digit years over to something more y2k
friendly. I've never been paid for my FoxPro work before,
>and I don't know what I should charge. What is the going rate for Fox
programmers? I'm looking for an hourly rate I can use as a basis for my bid
on the job. The job will consist of converting all data to mm/dd/yyyy
format and making sure all fields on forms and reports are big enough, and
any other date issues I can resolve. My testing shows FoxPro 2.6 to be
able to handle y2k issues, but I don't know if it is fully y2k compliant.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you have
SET CENTURY ON
all of your date text boxes will display in YYYY format.
You would just have to make sure that each field is wide
enough for input. (That's the beauty of OOP, you would
have only had to change the text box once.)
The going rate is from $20-$55 around here (Columbus, Ohio).
Not only does experience play a part in your rate. I've
seen some pretty crappy beginner VFP programmers charge $55.
The more you want to work the lower your rate. If you only
want to work 7-8 months a year raise the rate to $55 and
you won't have many clients that hire you. And if you
charge $55/hour and your not what you think you are,
your fired quickly (at least I've fired people quickly).
