>I honestly think it is foolhardy for anyone to think they can either continue to run, or resurrect in 30 years, an application written today! The pace of change is growing daily and consideratons for the past are shrinking.

I was actually thinking about a strategy of having an archive menu option where I dump my VFP tables into 'A.N. Other' format which will be readable longer than the native tables. XML might do, especially if dumped with XSLT markup code to at least display the rudiments of the data and its structure in the 'browser of the future'.

Who has done this?
