>>We are lucky here. I get to concentrate on VFP development. We have Web experts, NT admins, Oracle DBA. Personally, I think the best way is to have a diverse team of people with each member highly proficient in 1 skill but cognizant of other technology/development tools. We have also selected what I consider the best front end development tool (VFP), back ends (Oracle and VFP) and platforms (Unix but moving to NT for Oracle; Win95 [questionable to NT] workstations).

>>Disclaimer to prevent some mild flaming back at me: I know it is not always possible to have a good skill mix of people, and many have to learn and use multiple tools. I also have multiple duties that take awayt from VFP devel -- mainly computer support/hardware/software troubleshooting (ughh!).

>>Unfortunately, we have made our development lives difficult by deploying WordPerfect instead of Word, Lotus instead of Excel. As much as some may despise MS, at least it is a breeze to integrate the use of Excel and Word into VFP apps.
